This brings a whole new meaning to I have your back.
A kid on the wrong end of a back control shouldn't be smiling, but these two couldn't stop.

That's the bit we love — they know exactly what to do next.

Youth Brazilian JiuJitsu isn't about escaping panic, it's about learning the sequence calmly enough that panic never gets the chance to show up.

Every class builds one skill on the last, and it's always a proud moment when a student who struggled last week is the one grinning through it this week.

Our Youth Brazilian JiuJitsu class at Woden drilled back control escapes until it stopped feeling scary and started feeling like fun.

Classes run Mondays 5.15pm at Coombs, along with Mondays and Wednesdays 6pm at Woden.

Come and try a complimentary class.

Another amazing Aware Krav Maga (awarekravmaga) She Fights Back course today with this amazing group of women.

Make sure you book your spots for the next course!

Most women don't book a self-defence course on their own.
They come because someone they trust said "come with me."

She Fights Back – our Women's Self Defence course – runs Saturday 25th July.

Beginner-friendly, hands-on, and the room is full of women who've never done anything like it before.

The daughter about to move out of home.

The sister who walks to her car after a late shift.

The friend who's been meaning to do this for years.

✅ Breaking grips and making distance
✅ Where to strike, and why it works
✅ Reading a situation and shutting it down before it gets physical
✅ What actually happens to your body under stress – and how to work through it

No experience. No fitness base. No uniform.

We had the pleasure of having Jemima Parker do her first reading of her new book “Poppy makes pockets” to the Holiday Program kids today.

So awesome to have another publish author as one of our members, and that our kids here got to hear the book first before anyone else.

Thanks Jemima!

Canberra Women – Saturday 25th July
Ask most people what they'd do if someone grabbed them, and they'll describe a plan.

Ask someone it's actually happened to, and they'll tell you they froze.

That's not weakness. It's what the body does under real stress – and it's the part almost every self-defence course skips.

She Fights Back is our Women's Self Defence course, and it's built around that moment.

✅ Breaking a grip and making distance
✅ Where to strike, and why it works
✅ Voice, posture and positioning – shutting a situation down before it ever gets physical
✅ What happens to your mind and body under stress, and how to keep functioning through it

100% suitable for beginners. No experience. No fitness base. No uniform – wear what you'd normally wear.

Self-defence isn't a strength problem. It's a decision-under-stress problem.
