WHAT MAKES US THE “SPECIALISTS” IN SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING?

EXPERIENCED

STAR has delivered our self-defense program to hundreds of people since opening in 2020. Head coach Phu in particular has more than 10 years of experience practicing and teaching self-defense, including a career in state security protecting dignitaries including President Obama!

TRUSTED

We work with teenagers from Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation and their Outreach Team as well as survivors of gender-based violence at HopeBox. We also work with the ChangeMaker program from Batik International who are leading Vietnamese youth to break cycles and challenge accepted norms of domestic violence.

PRACTICAL

The self-defense system taught at STAR is based on real-world situations. We don’t want you to ever have to use it, but if you do, it’s our job to ensure that the skills you have are practical, effective, and safe.

LICENSED AND LEGAL

STAR is the only centre in Tay Ho that is licensed to teach self-defense, and Coach Phu is one of the very few actively-practicing teachers of the self-defense systems that are legal in Vietnam.  Vietnam has strict legislative boundaries around self-defense classes. All our courses and coaches operate only within that framework.

OUR RECENT PROJECTS

University Student Programs

51% of university students in Vietnam have reported experiences of violence on campus, especially against women and the LGBTQ+ community (Unicef Asia, 2018). As reports of violence against the Asian community abroad increase, so too has the desire to learn self-defense from university students with ambitions to study abroad.

 

We have delivered courses to students at RMIT University, as well as students at several public universities in Hanoi through a series of programs hosted at the University of Communications and Transport. We are currently expanding our network of self-defense programs at educational institutions. Contact us to discuss opening a course at your school.
