Course Overview
Our immersive, full day course is a 50/50 split of theory and physical skills, and we guarantee that at the end of it participants will understand the world in which we live more clearly, and be a whole lot better equipped to deal with its challenges.
Learning Together
We also find that nearly every participant appreciates the safe environment we provide, and takes the opportunity to share some of their journey with their co-participants too, so that we can all learn from each other.
Rachael Allen, Company Director & Instructor
Rachael served 15 years in the British Army, leaving the military in 2011, where she transitioned from her IT leadership role in military into the Corporate world. In 2019, Rachael attended a Blossom class and soon realised that it was so much more than just a self-defence class, it was a community of wonderful, inspiring individuals.
It was during the Global pandemic, Rachael made the decision to take some time away from the corporate world and spend quality time with her family and help grow Blossom.
Both Madeleine and Rachael are driven by their own experiences and passion, their desire is not only to teach self-defence but to build confidence, morale and physical courage, educate on well-being and create a diverse support community for its members and followers.
Madeleine France, Company Founder and Lead Trainer
Our founder, Madeleine France began Blossom, a woman only self-defence class after hearing from a number of friends that they had a desire to learn how to defend themselves but didn’t feel comfortable taking part in a martial arts or boxing class, which are generally male orientated and deemed intimidating.
Madeleine acts as the class instructor, but she is also an inspirational leader, role model, counsellor, wellbeing advocate and motivator.
During the 2020/21 National lockdown, Madeleine unfortunately found herself excluded from any government financial support and was unable to provide for her family as always had. It was this and a rare opportunity to form a trusted partnership with a member of her Blossom Class that prompted her decision to expand Blossom and share the positivity, confidence, empowerment found through self-defence to the next level.
