Women’s Self Defence Fundamentals

The most valuable thing you can possess during a threat to your safety is options. During this 5 part course you will learn skills and no-bullshit techniques for dealing with real-world threats and attacks.

Hosted by Krav Maga instructor Adam Axford, these dynamic, full contact sessions will cover the fundamentals of defending yourself against an attacker who is bigger, stronger or armed.

Week 1
Grabs, Holds & Chokes
This session will cover the correct techniques for escaping the grasp of a larger, stronger attacker whilst standing up. We will learn how to break a grip, defend against chokes and create a safe distance.

Week 2
Weapons
In this session we will learn how to deal with threats and attacks from someone who is armed with a knife, glass or bottle. The techniques covered can be used to control, disarm and create distance from the attacker.

Week 3
Wrestling on the Ground
Dealing with the worst case scenario of being on your back, the correct techniques will give you a fighting chance against a stronger, persistent attacker. We will also cover the safest ways to fall and stand back up.

Week 4
Combat
