Mandate self defence classes in schools with military training & tournaments.
We urge Parliament to mandate self-defence training in schools for all Years With military-style leadership, controlled tournaments, and practical classes, this initiative will empower youth to counter knife crime, violence, and gang culture—building safer, resilient communities.
Children are our future. Parliament must act now. We demand mandatory self-defence training in schools, incorporating boxing, MMA, military-style drills, and combat sports tournaments. This proactive approach builds resilience and practical skills, effectively countering knife crime and gang culture. By prioritising our children’s safety, we strengthen our communities and families. Let’s reject fear and criminalisation, empowering our youth with the skills they need to protect themselves and shape a brighter, safer future.
