Girl Strong - Self Defence Class for Girls and Women
Event description
WOMEN'S SELF DEFENCE & PERSONAL SAFETY SESSION
“Self defence is a basic life skill which most women will find useful at least once in their life time.”
You will be taught a number of self defence techniques that can be easily learnt and used against a wide variety of
attacks. These techniques are based on Ju Jutsu techniques and emphasise efficiency.
This means you don’t have to be strong, big, athletic, flexible or aggressive to be effective. As with other life skills such as water and road safety, first aid and so on, your knowledge of self defence may one day also ensure the safety of your family, friends and other members of the community. Everybody has a basic right to feel free to do what they want, within certain boundaries, without feeling constrained by the fear of violence. Learning self defence and taking sensible precautions enables you to more freely exercise that right.
Everyone works to their own capabilities and there is never any expectation
that you should do anything you do not feel comfortable with.
