Fight Back Self Defence

At Fight Back Women's Self Defence! Fight Back is a self-defence school located in Elwood, Melbourne that specialises in teaching easy-to-learn and highly-effective self-defence techniques for women and girls.

The school's main focus is on empowerment rather than fear. The goal is to help women and girls feel confident in all aspects of their lives and in any situation they may encounter. Fight Back Women's Self Defence offers sessions that can be conducted in the comfort of your own home, office, school, or any other convenient location. They are also willing to travel anywhere in Victoria or even interstate to ensure everyone has access to effective self-defence training.

While the name of the school suggests that it is exclusively for women, Fight Back actually offers self-defence classes for anyone who is interested. The content and teaching style are always appropriate for the specific group, taking into consideration factors such as age, culture, gender, and lifestyle preferences. The instructors prioritise making everyone feel comfortable and never force them to do anything they are not comfortable with. The students are always in charge of their own learning experience.

Fight Back Women's Self Defence focuses on teaching real-world self-defence techniques, rather than stylised or choreographed sequences often seen in Hollywood movies. The goal is to ensure that students are not just impressing their friends temporarily, but actually gaining skills that will keep them safe for a lifetime.

No prior experience or fitness level is required to participate in the classes. Fight Back believes that absolutely anyone and everyone can learn to defend themselves. The classes are not intense or physically demanding, but students are welcome to push themselves if they choose to.

The school is founded by Howard Kimber, a highly experienced martial artist with over 25 years of experience in Taekwondo and Krav Maga. Howard ensures that the classes are fun, inclusive, and run in an enjoyable manner, as opposed to intimidating boot-camp environments. He started Fight Back Women's Self Defence in 2013 because he wanted women and girls to know that they have the ability to defend themselves and should not live in fear. Howard is dedicated to providing self-defence training that is practical, empowering, and lasting.

His eldest daughter, Jude, who is a black belt in Goju Karate, assists with larger classes and can run sessions that require a female-only environment.

Fight Back Women's Self Defence has received positive media coverage and testimonials from satisfied clients. They offer private sessions, longer courses, corporate classes, and sessions for school groups. The operating hours are flexible and can be tailored to fit the needs of the participants.
