Crimerate.co.uk reports that violent crime is on the rise in London, with anti-social behaviour, and violence and sexual offences on the increase.

It may be surprising to some that the most dangerous boroughs are Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea.

It is worth keeping in mind that these are, of course, crimes that have been reported to the police. Unfortunately, many go unreported because the victim is afraid or ashamed.

Crimerate.co.uk has some interesting statistics on crime in London in the past year. There is also an interactive map where they show a breakdown of each type of crime in each area of London.

These statistics show how important it is to be aware of our surroundings, especially when walking alone. It makes it clear that rather than just a hobby, self defence should be an essential skill for people of all ages and genders.

Thankfully, there are schools like KB Fitness that offer London self-defence training for complete beginners and ensure that no matter how many classes you attend, you leave knowing something, and having a better chance to get away in a potentially dangerous situation.

KB Self Defence is a great, safe, inclusive and practical place to learn effective self defence. What’s taught is simple and increases your confidence, leaving you feeling more equipped to defend yourself by walking tall, calm but powerful!” said Tim Johnson.

KB Fitness Chief Instructor Kelly KB and Senior Instructor Dee Terret, having a combined 80 years of martial arts experience, are delighted to be able to share their knowledge and help Londoners feel safer and more confident.

“The aim of our Self Defence classes is and has always been to help people feel safer, and less likely to become part of those dreaded statistics,” said Kelly.

KB Fitness offers a progressive kind of training, where members are encouraged to train in the school and learn Self Defence for as long as it suits them. They are empowered by learning new techniques, adding new techniques to their repertoire, and are encouraged to attend the school’s kickboxing classes as a complement to their self defence training. For those who want to become proficient in London Self Defence, the school offers a grading system, where members are assessed in the techniques taught, as well as the law and theory of self defence.
