SUMMARY:Women's Self Defence 6-Week Course
DESCRIPTION:During this 6-week course\\, we will cover a range of techniq
 ues and more importantly develop a mindset to be able to identify\\, avoi
 d and escape threats or attacks. You will develop how to respond rather t
 han react and how to be mindful\\, focused and aware instead of being a v
 ictim. \\nWhilst 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. \\nLearn practical\\, effective and easily d
 eployable techniques \\nThese strategies will help you deal with a range
