What is Unleash Self Defence?
Welcome to Unleash Self Defence, a global network specialising in a revolutionary and free-thinking self defence and martial arts system rooted in ‘Reality Based Self Defence’.
Reality Based Self Defence
You will find this term (Reality Based Self Defence) being freely used by many within the industry whilst at the same time being bound and confined to traditional and out-dated techniques.
Our unique system is truly based on investigating each technique with the crucial question: ‘Does it really work in real life today?’
Constantly Evolving:
The world is constantly evolving and with it the threats that we all face. It is therefore vital for a true Reality Based Self Defence system to also evolve at the same time. Unleash Self Defence really does delve into a scientific exploration of reality-based combat and self defence, constantly evolving to meet the challenges of today. Here, we understand the importance of never being afraid to challenge conditioned boundaries and to always be prepared to ask provoking questions in the quest for the truth in reality-based combat.
Embracing the idea of continuous evolution, we welcome input from beginners or individuals from varied backgrounds who may offer their own unique perspectives. This is the level of open-mindedness we encourage on this fascinating journey within the realm of self defence. To believe that any fighting system has reached perfection is to admit to one’s own delusion.
Tested in Real-Life Situations and Against Multiple Attackers:
Unleash Self Defence is a self defence system that has undergone rigorous testing in real-life street situations and unlike other systems, it effectively deals with multiple attacker scenarios too, understanding that these days it is highly likely to be attacked by more than one person.
Unlike systems designed for the ring or competition, this defence system is explicitly tailored for real-life scenarios and street situations where it truly matters, where there are no rules and where the emotions are very different!
The Training is NOT Just Physical:
We are often asked the question – “What is the point in learning self defence if I’m just going to freeze when something happens?”. It’s such a valid question and highlights the reality of how so many are overcome with fear when threatened with real violence.
To be able to truly deal with this fear and real-life violence, physical training alone is simply not enough. Yet this is what is found in most other self defence and martial arts systems.
Here too, Unleash Self Defence is quite unique. It not only effectively deals with the physical aspects of real-life violence, but effectively deals with the mental and psychological aspects too.
We believe that every single being on this planet has the innate ability to defend themselves should the need arise, to ‘choose’ not to be a victim. Yet the vast majority are unable to do this. Why?
The reason being that this hidden ‘inner warrior’ needs the right help and the right training to be truly ‘unleashed’….. hence our motto ‘Unleash The Warrior Within’.
At Unleash Self Defence, you will find just as much emphasis on your mental and psychological training as you will with your physical training. Partner this with effective physical techniques that just make sense and proven to work, and you cannot help but to ‘genuinely’ feel more confident and empowered as you go about your daily lives.
This is what sets Unleash Self Defence apart from the rest.

What is the history of Unleash Self Defence?
Unleash Self Defence emerged as a self defence and martial arts brand in 2024, spearheaded by Tahir Ahmad, who was formerly a Crew Member and UK Director of Defence Lab. Tahir not only achieved his Black Belt within Defence Lab but also built and ran the largest and most successful franchise within Defence Lab for 7 consecutive years since 2017, making him the first, and one of only two Team Lightning members.
During this time, Tahir also successfully pioneered bespoke training sessions for a large portfolio of Schools, Businesses and various other Organisations.
In 2024, Tahir founded and created Unleash Self Defence. This gave him the freedom and ability to make the changes and improvements he felt were missing and necessary in order to provide a more comprehensive experience for his students.
Unleash Self Defence specialises in realistic self defence training tailored for urban environments, aiming to equip individuals with highly effective defence techniques against single and multiple attackers.
It focuses on practical solutions to violent confrontations. The philosophy emphasises studying violence so to evade it, prevent it, and if necessary, to survive it.
Unleash Self Defence, conceived by Tahir Ahmad, represents an evolved combat system shaped by over 30 years of real-life experiences, research, and continuous evolution, looking to challenge the question, ‘Does it truly work?’.
Its journey reflects Tahir’s own life experiences and extensive training background, positioning Unleash Self Defence as a pioneer in modern urban martial arts methodologies.
