🥋 Women’s Self-Defence Workshop - Inspired by Aikido

About this event

* Every Sunday in January (Jan 4, 11, 18, and 25) *
* A 4 part workshop *
Discover the calm confidence that keeps you safe.

Join us for an engaging and practical Women’s Self-Defence Workshop based on the principles of Aikido, a Japanese martial art that teaches using an attacker’s energy against them — without relying on strength or aggression.

This course is not about "fighting back", although there will be some instruction in striking (elbows, knees, open hands).
It will be more about the physical techniques and mental factors that allow you to get out of a dangerous situation involving people bigger or stronger than you.
