Steven Smith had been teaching martial arts classes for many years when it became apparent that there were not many "self protection" courses aimed at specifically children. Having taught and taken part in many reality based adults self defense course he began to tailor one specifically for KIDZ. As the workshops developed he realised there was so much more to it than "self defense" and adjusted the workshops to make them about "Simple, Motivating, Awareness AND Reaction training". The course has evolved as time has gone on and has been taught to hundreds of children all over the UK since the first workshop back in 2004
