Self Defence Workshop: Responding to Strikes

Our self-defence workshop is designed around situations you may encounter in everyday life. Through basic body-control techniques, threat recognition, space awareness, setting physical and emotional boundaries, and practising responses to real-life scenarios, the workshop aims to build confidence and empower participants in a safe, supportive environment. This session will particularly focus on protecting the head, maintaining balance, moving away from an attack and finding an opportunity to disengage. Teenagers are very welcome to take part. The workshop will be delivered in an age-appropriate and respectful way, making it suitable for both adults and teenagers. The workshop will be led by our experienced Head coach, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Capoeira black belt and Level 3 Personal Trainer, with more than 25 years of experience across martial arts and the fitness industry. No previous experience or particular level of fitness is required. The workshop is suitable for complete beginners. Spaces are limited. Please arrive 10 minutes before the workshop begins.
