Bender Defenders Queer self-defence taster
Event Information
About this event
Hackney’s first gay self defence course was set up in Dalston in the 1980s in response to homophobic hate crime. Sadly over 30 years later, these issues of LGBTQI+ hate crime are still occuring. Learn some self defence skills to help you feel that bit more confident, have fun and get moving to support your mental health. Bender Defenders classes are taught in a light-hearted, fun way, offering a sense of community. All abilities welcome.
