Women's Self Defence

This is not a fitness class, it is a realistic self-defence course covering serious topics in a fun way! No martial arts or combat experience is required.

Women's self defence is not just a technique workshop. You'll learn the psychology behind our fight or flight response, how to be situationally aware and the best course of action to take in most cases.

Learn effective techniques in a fun setting! Check out the details below for more information.
