Womens Self Defence Course Level 1(1/5)

Service Description

FREE Self Defence Sessions for Women and Girls. Join us for the first of 5 six week courses which will run throughout 2025. Each 6 weeks' course is run either as level 1 (beginners self defence) or level 2 (those who have completed Level 1 or are already training in a striking based martial arts or combat sport). The upcoming course dates are shown below and booking will open approx 6 weeks before the course is due to start. We advise bringing your own boxing or MMA gloves for each session as there is a small hire charge to use Academy gloves. Level 1 course During this 6 week self-defence you will be shown some basic striking skills and defensive techniques. You will also be taught how to increase awareness of your environment, how to engage controlled aggression and determination, as well as techniques to try and avoid or prevent a situation escalating from verbal to physical. The level 1 course is simple in terms of techniques, but all training sessions are physical and require some level of basic fitness and mobility for participants to benefit from the course. Level 2 course During this slightly more advanced course, participants will learn to defend themselves against head and hair grabs, wrist and ankle grabs plus techniques of ground fighting when a confrontation goes to the floor. Techniques will include defending and striking from the floor. The Level 2 course is designed to build controlled aggression and determination. This tougher mindset is needed for more serious situations and is a great way to compound your skills and develop from the basic self defence course. Level 1. 09 Jan - 13 Feb Level 1. 13 Mar - 17 Apr Level 2. 08 May - 13 Jun Booking will open 6 weeks before the course next is due to start.
