A practical 3-hour women-only course designed to build confidence and teach 
simple, effective self defence skills.

Feel prepared. Feel confident.
Feel in control.

Our women’s self defence course is designed for beginners and delivered in a supportive, women-only environment. You do not need martial arts experience, a high fitness level or any previous training. We focus on simple, effective principles that help you stay calmer, make better decisions and respond with more confidence if something does go wrong.

You will learn how to spot problems earlier, use your voice more effectively, create opportunities to get away and use straightforward physical responses when needed.
