The perfect introduction to self-defence, this 2 hour workshop covers basic techniques and is suitable for both beginners and those wanting to refresh their skills from an earlier course.

​

Through hands-on practice, you will learn effective striking and self-defence moves, situational awareness and a greater understanding of the fight, flight and freeze responses.  Our supportive and relaxed environment ensures that every participant feels comfortable and empowered, regardless of fitness level or prior experience.

​

• Managing the common 'freeze' response to threat
