What is a Dangerous Dame?
A Dangerous Dame isn’t trained to fight. A Dangerous Dame is trained to be "Dangerous." Dangerous Dames offers a variety of learning options that embrace a holistic approach to self-protection and personal safety, incorporating effective physical self-protection applications, assertiveness, boundary setting and environmental awareness.
What Dangerous Dames does.
The focus of what Dangerous Dames does is emphasize not only how dangerous you can be, but how dangerous you really are. How?

Each session is a safe space where the focus is on your personal growth and development.

From our clients
Dangerous Dames has shared what it does with hundreds of clients over the years. Here's a small selection of good vibes from some of them.
The Dude behind Dangerous Dames
Dangerous Dames’ founder and head Instructor Adam has many years of professional self-protection, personal safety and harm minimization experiences under his black belt. Adam is recognized by the Australian Hapkido Association, Integrated Combat Systems and has vocational and professional insights into Crisis Negotiation, Mental Health and Trauma Awareness.
I’m a pretty cruisy guy who loves a laugh. I’ve been told I’m a little intense at times, but I’m generally a nice man with happy feelings. I take the work I do through Dangerous Dames very seriously, because this is serious stuff. Over the years I’ve enjoyed the challenges of researching, developing and providing relevant, real world, practical solutions to situations inspired and driven by the specific personal, professional and environmental requirements of clients. These requirements often go far beyond the basics of traditional self-defence.
Dangerous Dames learning options will provide you with insight, direction, tools and skills that will open your mind to what self-protection is and can be. Each Dangerous Dames session ticks all the boxes and will give you an advantage when your back is to the wall and also enhance the self-protection abilities of the traditional or sports martial artist.
But, if you are serious about developing sound physical self-protection skills here’s a MUST DO. You must build your fitness and develop some solid physical skills by regularly dedicating time to a martial art. Choose an art where you have to deal with an actual opponent. Not just punching the air and yelling “Kowabunga!!!!” Choose a grappling art. Wrestling, Judo, BJJ or full contact striking art and learn some dirty tricks you can throw into the mix. That's where Dangerous Dames comes in. It’s the dirty tricks that will debilitate, deter, create openings, opportunities, brain blinks and distractions that you can use to your advantage. Explore the site. When you're ready, get in touch and get dangerous.
