Women's Only Self-Defence: 8 Week Course

Each class is 8 - 9.30pm on Tuesday evenings. This course runs from the 9th of September to the 28th of October. The course is £75 for 8 weeks, working out at less than £10 per class!

Our lead instructor, Anna, has almost 10 years experience teaching self-defence to women, children and in mixed classes. Most weeks she will be joined by a male assistant, Jason, for demonstration purposes.

Classes will cover self-defence techniques, striking and theory, as well as look at specific scenarios. Classes will include some fitness, and where needed this can be modified to suit any ability. All classes are absolutely suitable for a beginner - and are self-contained.

Not at all! There is a fitness element to the class, but all exercises can be modified to suit all abilities. The classes will build your fitness in a fun, accessible way.

Any sessions you miss can be tacked on to the end of the course. We run the classes continuously throughout the year, so people who'd like to continue training or want to make up for missed classes can do so.

After attending this course, you'll be able to 'top-up' with an extra 4 week block of training to advance on the core training. You can also attend the 8 week course again at a future date, learning new, advanced techniques as you build on what you've learnt already.

Our instructor, Anna, has a background in mental health and trauma informed support work. Our aim in the class is always to ensure everyone has fun and feels safe, and all scenarios are discussed sensitively. Please contact us if you'd like more reassurance or to discuss anything in more depth.

This class is suitable for ages 14+. We ask that any attendees under 18 are accompanied by a participating adult.
