Shotley Peninsula Nub News

We go UP CLOSE with Nicky and Laurence Schofield the owners and instructors at SMART Dojos the family martial arts school who talk humble beginnings, social distance training and being able to walk home safely.
In the wake of the tragic events surrounding Sarah Everard’s alleged abduction and murder, enquiries about self defence classes and basic things like how to prevent making people anxious when walking down the street have once again raised its head.
For the Schofield’s dealing with aggression, how to channel it, the prevention and avoidance of conflict at all levels comes as second nature after years of learning and experience. In addition they embrace the families learning together ethos and harness our inner anger so it can explode in a controlled and safe environment.
