Lets Be Honest, Writing Lesson Plans Can SUCK

As instructors, we all know we should plan every class carefully. But real life gets in the way — family, admin, students, unexpected problems at the school — it’s a lot.

So you tell yourself, “I’ve been doing this long enough, I can just wing it.”

And sure, sometimes you pull it off. 

Occasionally, you might even create a little magic.


But more often than not, winging it leads to repeating the same classes, using the same drills, in the same way and eventually... the quality of your classes starts to slip.


So what’s the solution?

When you can’t reuse an old plan and don’t have anything prepared, you need a reliable backup — fast.

After 30 years of teaching self-defense and writing thousands of lesson plans, I’ve handpicked my top 100 single-page self defence lesson plans and organised them into this course.

With this collection, you’ll never have to “wing it” again. Instead, you’ll have a tool you can use anytime you’re stuck. Just pick a plan, follow the simple steps, and deliver an effective, engaging & exciting class.

Each lesson is packed with practical drills and techniques that fit seamlessly into any self-defense program, giving you the flexibility to adapt to your students’ needs on the fly.
