Rock Steady Contact Combat offers real world self defence classes in Denton, Greater Manchester. Whether you're completely new to self defence or looking to develop genuine practical skills, our classes are designed for real people facing real threats on UK streets.

Most self defence classes teach you what to do. Rock Steady teaches you what actually works. Techniques that look impressive in a gym often fall apart under real pressure. When adrenaline is running, the threat is moving, and you have seconds to act, you need training built for that moment. We start with awareness and avoidance, because the best fight is the one you never have. We finish with force on force scenario training. Everything in between is deliberate, progressive, and honest.

Suitable for all ages and fitness levels. No experience necessary. First class is always free.

All fitness levels welcome. All ages welcome. First class always free.

Ged Ellis is a self defence and kettlebell instructor based in Denton, Greater Manchester, holding some of the highest certifications available in both disciplines.

In self protection, Ged holds Expert 1 ranking with the IKMF, the International Krav Maga Federation, one of the world's leading self defence organisations. With a background spanning over a decade of Krav Maga instruction across Greater Manchester, Ged has developed a methodology that goes beyond traditional Krav Maga.

Rock Steady Contact Combat is not a Krav Maga class. It draws on Ged's extensive Krav Maga background but has evolved into its own system, stripped of anything that doesn't work under real pressure, and built around a small number of reliable tools drilled to a genuinely high standard.
