Side-Stepping Personal Security is Dangerous

Let’s be blunt: avoiding personal security training in favour of excuses like “I don’t have time” isn’t just naive—it’s reckless. Sure, we all say we’re too busy. Too busy for the gym. Too busy to learn guitar. Too busy to do much of anything, really. But here’s the harsh truth: the only people who truly have no time left are the ones who’ve lost their lives.

Think about Zara Aleena and Sarah Everard—two women whose futures were stolen. If we don’t use their tragic losses as a catalyst for change, we’re not just failing them; we’re failing ourselves.

And let me say this directly to every parent out there: Why aren’t we insisting that our kids, especially our daughters, learn how to defend themselves? Your child is heading off to college, traveling abroad, or simply walking home from work. Isn’t teaching them how to protect their personal space just as important as teaching them to ride a bike or look both ways before crossing the street?

We can’t keep our loved ones wrapped in a bubble. But we can equip them with the skills to challenge a threat, escape a predator, and come home safely. WarriorUp teaches these life-saving skills in less time than a Netflix binge. What’s stopping you from hitting “pause” on entertainment and hitting “play” on safety?

Media Hype Without The Help

Every day, the media cycles through stories of violence—murders, assaults, attacks. They dissect the “why,” wring their hands over societal decay, and sensationalise the perpetrators. But where’s the real help? Where’s the solution?

The answer isn’t going to come from another headline. It’s up to us to take personal security into our own hands. Quiet villages might feel safe, but they’re just as vulnerable as city streets. Predators don’t discriminate based on your postcode—they exploit opportunity wherever they find it. Perhaps that’s where there are less CCTV cameras.

Here’s the frustrating part: the media loves to talk about the problem but rarely promotes actionable solutions. WarriorUp is that solution. A simple, practical course that arms everyday people with the tools to act decisively, escape dangerous situations, and walk confidently through life.. 

So let’s cut through the noise and do something meaningful. Protect yourself. Protect your family. WarriorUp isn’t about scaremongering—it’s about empowerment.
