The ESP program taught the young adults creative and powerful skills to deal with difficult situations that they may have to face. Using non-violent strategies, the students were taught how to effectively avoid, control and de-escalate aggression. The session also included a variety of meditation techniques to lower stress and improve self esteem and enhance positive thinking.

Due to the success of the last Self Defence Seminar run at the Peabody Trust for the last Adult Learners Week in 2004, a second 3hr course was organised by the LSBU Academy Of Sport. The event was planned and booked 2 to 3 months in advance by a senior sports coordinator, with the recruitment of a sports ambassador. This was a free ‘unpaid event’ advertised and marketed around South London including Peackam, Elephant & Castle, and Bermonsdey.
