We are excited to be partnering with Zoë Boyd from Bent Collective to run a series of self defence sessions. Come along to all 3 if you want to practice skills, or pick one date to gain an intensive introduction to practical self defence.
We'll be covering:
- Intro to striking
- Stance, grabs and clinching
- Ground control and standing up
- Chokes and choke defence
- The guard and defending from your back
- Self regulation
- Intro to self defence
Zoë is a self-defence instructor and a martial artist with over 12 years' experience in combat sports. She began teaching self-defence classes after realising how many instructors were ex-police or ex-military, and how that had given them a perspective on violence that didn't match her lived experience. She teaches a more compassionate form of self-defence, tailored to marginalised people, and backed up by research and data. She is also a professional wrestler and enjoys pretending to fight people as much as the real thing!
