Take our 12-question assessment quiz and find out your teenagers strengths and vulnerabilities

Note to Parents

This is your chance to learn together, alongside your teen — it’s not just about sparking valuable conversations around personal safety and self-awareness; this is about them and you levelling up in all aspects of life.

For some teens, the starter kit may reveal areas of vulnerability. For others, it can help temper a sense of overconfidence that may leave them exposed.

Either way, this is an opportunity to connect with your teen on a serious topic — and to start implementing skills and preventive strategies that could make all the difference.

You’ll also find a 12-point checklist below to help identify strengths and areas for growth in their personal safety plan.

If you have feedback, questions, or suggestions — or if there’s a specific safety issue you’d like us to cover in future updates — we’d love to hear from you.

We’re here to change the way teen safety is taught—with science-backed tools that build confidence and instinctive skills that last.

FAQs

What is a habit stack self-defence skill?

Traditional self-defence training often fails when it matters most. Why? Because you’re taught a technique a few times in a controlled, compliant environment — then expected to recall it under the chaos and fear of a real-world attack months or years later. That’s not just unrealistic — it’s dangerous.

A Habit Stack Self-Defence Skill is different. It’s built using cutting-edge insights from neuroscience and muscle memory research. Instead of relying on repetition alone, we combine small, instinctive actions into daily routines — reinforcing them until they become automatic, stress-proof reactions. The result? Powerful self-defence that lives in your body — ready to activate without thought, even under extreme pressure.

Why is the toolkit free?

Because every parent deserves tools to help protect their child — regardless of budget.
The Savvy Toolkit is our way of giving back. It’s 100% free and packed with powerful resources to boost your teen’s awareness, confidence, and street smarts.

Yes, we offer paid courses for those ready to go deeper — but this isn’t about pushy sales tactics. It’s about starting a relationship built on trust and shared purpose: empowering young people to stand strong in a world that’s changing fast.

Is there really a strategy for being mugged?

Absolutely — and it’s never been more critical to teach our young people this truth: your life is worth more than your phone, your bag, or your pride.
There is a smarter strategy — one rooted in awareness, decision-making, and self-preservation.

In a high-stress moment like a mugging, ego and panic can cloud judgement. That’s why we train teens to respond with clarity — not bravado. They’ll learn that giving up a replaceable item is not weakness; it’s wisdom.

Our proactive strategy equips them to stay safe, stay calm, and live to fight another day. Because nothing they carry is worth more than the life they’ve yet to live.
