ExpiredWomen’s Self Defence

Ages 16+

Self-Defence is first and foremost about standing up for and defending your right to personal safety (emotional and physical). In this 4 part series with Martial Arts Instructor Emma Hamilton, we discuss tuning into your instincts, assessing various threat levels and your response to them; we provide easy to execute, practical and effective methods of escape. We will cover establishing and maintaining base, distance management philosophy, basic escapes from wrist and body grabs, and ground defence. We will provide a supportive environment where you will learn how to safely escape many different situations and scenarios, and will include verbal de-escalation tactics. This is a hands-on workshop with partners and there will be a lot of close quarters contact.
