Women's Self Defence 6-Week Course

During this 6-week course, we will cover a range of techniques and more importantly develop a mindset to be able to identify, avoid and escape threats or attacks. You will develop how to respond rather than react and how to be mindful, focused and aware instead of being a victim.
Whilst the focus is on avoidance or escape, you must be able to escalate your physical response should the situation require it and do so aggressively. Your life may depend on it and we work on developing a survival mindset to do this.
Learn practical, effective and easily deployable techniques
These strategies will help you deal with a range of threats and attacks from the front, the side or behind whether standing, seated or on the ground against:
• grabs and holds, e.g. headlocks, bear hugs, hair, hand, arm
• strikes e.g. kicks, punches
• chokes and strangles
• edged weapons, e.g. knives (realistic defence techniques aimed at minimising harm to you and focusing on escaping)
Situational Awareness
This is observing and interpreting your surroundings and setting, threat assessment, and identifying potential assistance. e.g. improvised weapons, escape routes
