Defence in the Park – Queer Self-Defence Session

Join us for a summer morning of movement, connection, and empowerment.

This trauma-informed self-defence session is designed specifically for Queer Folk of all levels – whether it’s your first class or your fiftieth. We’ll explore practical techniques to protect yourself, build body confidence, and respond to stress — all in a safe, supportive outdoor space in Regent’s Park. Each outdoor class has 8 available spots, to ensure that everyone has chance to be trained with the instructor for personal feedback and coaching through the techniques.

Expect a mix of:

  • Striking & defensive drills
  • Groundwork & boundary-setting
  • Tools for navigating fear and adrenaline
  • A warm community of like-minded humans
