    The Vesta Story

    Vesta Self Defence was born from a simple truth: women-only environments foster faster learning and deeper trust. While we are part of Krav Maga Somerset, Vesta is a dedicated safe space for women to grow.

    Named after the Roman goddess of protection, we believe self-defence isn't about aggression, it's about the "quiet confidence" that comes from knowing you can protect yourself and your family.

    Today, we are proud to be Somerset's leading women-only self-defence brand, helping hundreds of women transform their mindset and their lives through practical, effective training.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know before joining your first course.

    Do I need to be fit to start?
    Not at all—most women who join us have never done anything like this before. Our Foundation Course is built for complete beginners. You don't need to be fit, strong, or flexible. We start gently and build your confidence together.
    What should I wear to my first class?
    Comfortable workout clothing (leggings/tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt) and trainers are perfect. Bring a water bottle too!
    Is the training dangerous?
    Safety and support are our priorities. We provide a controlled, all-female environment where we focus on practical safety, not violence. You’ll practice at a pace that feels right for you.
    Can I bring a friend?
    Absolutely! Training with a friend is a great way to start. Many of our students join as pairs or small groups.
    What if I have an old injury?
    Please let Sarah know before the class. Most techniques can be adapted to accommodate physical limitations while still being effective.
