Women's Self-Defence

This runs as a six-week course rather than an ongoing class, and it starts over several times a year. The room is closed — women only, instructors included — because a great many people will not practise this material honestly in front of strangers, and practising it honestly is the entire point. We cover awareness and de-escalation first, because those resolve far more situations than anything physical does. Then we work on breaking grips, getting off the ground, striking to soft targets, and the specific problem of an attacker you know, which is statistically the likely one and which most self-defence courses skip entirely. There is no belt, no uniform and no expectation that you continue into another program, though you are welcome to. Register early; these fill.
