What Is 1-to-1Training?
1-to-1 training offers a highly personal approach to learning Krav Maga and self-defence. Instead of working in a group, you train directly with Russell, allowing each session to be tailored around your specific goals, abilities, and experience level.
Training typically covers a mix of striking, defensive tactics, movement, and situational awareness, with a strong focus on realistic self-defence scenarios. Sessions move at your own pace – whether you want to develop strong fundamentals, improve your confidence in real-life encounters, or refine advanced techniques.
Each private lesson is designed to help you progress faster, receive instant feedback, and build practical skills in a safe and supportive setting. It’s an ideal option for anyone looking to supplement group classes, work on specific techniques, or train around a busy schedule.
What is Corporate Training?
Corporate Krav Maga training brings practical self-defence and personal safety education into the workplace. These sessions are designed for businesses, organisations, and professional teams that want to improve staff awareness, confidence, and resilience in real-world situations.
Led by Russell Sharpe, a 2nd-degree black belt under Ronin Krav Maga and Level One Urban Combatives instructor, our corporate programmes can be delivered on-site or at selected training venues across Devon, Cornwall, and the wider South West.
Each course is tailored to your workplace and the challenges your staff may face – covering conflict management, de-escalation, situational awareness, and physical self-defence. This type of training is particularly beneficial for frontline and public-facing roles, such as:
- Healthcare professionals, paramedics, and care workers
- Retail and hospitality staff
- Security personnel and door supervisors
- Teachers, support workers, and local authority employees
- Delivery drivers, field engineers, and community service staff
Whether run as a short workshop, regular class, or part of a staff wellbeing or personal safety initiative, our goal is to help your team stay safe, reduce risk, and build confidence through hands-on, scenario-based learning.
