You don’t need to be stronger than someone to learn how to protect yourself. You need awareness, skills and the confidence to act.

Join us for a women-only self-defence seminar designed to give you practical tools for situations you hope never happen- but deserve to feel more prepared for.

You’ll learn:
• Awareness
• Setting boundaries
• Managing distance
• Standing escapes
• Ground escapes

You’ll practise in a supportive environment with other women, learn realistic techniques and leave with a better understanding of what you can do when your safety is challenged.

No previous experience needed.

📍 Valor Academy, Midlothian Innovation Centre
📅 Friday 9th of October

💷 £30

Spaces are limited — DM us to secure your place.

One of the quickest ways to make jiu-jitsu miserable is to put too much pressure on yourself.

You don’t have to win every round. You don’t have to avoid being tapped. And you definitely don’t have to train at 100% every time you step onto the mats.

Of course, take your training seriously. Think about your technique. Work on the things you want to improve. Ask questions. Drill with purpose.

But also… relax.

Do some lighter rounds. Let your training partner work. Try something you’re bad at. Get caught. Tap. Laugh about it. Try again.

When every roll stops being a test of whether you’re “good enough”, you start giving yourself room to actually learn.

And strangely enough, that’s often when the progress comes.

Train hard when it’s time to train hard.

But don’t forget to enjoy being on the mats. 🥋

One Escape. Many Variations.

You never know who you might cross paths with or what situation you could find yourself in. You have a better chance of protecting yourself if you’re prepared than if you’re not.

Learn the skills. Practise them. Build confidence.

You can fight back. Learn how.

Not all dangerous people are strangers.

Self-defence is also about recognising red flags, trusting your instincts and knowing how to set and enforce your boundaries with people you know.

Awareness. Boundaries. Self-defence.

Learning self-defence isn't only about knowing what to do if a stranger attacks you on the street.

Sometimes the person making you uncomfortable is someone you already know - a friend, colleague, date, partner or even someone you trust.

That’s why self-defence also means learning to recognise red flags, trust your instincts, set clear boundaries and know what to do when those boundaries aren't respected.

You are allowed to change your mind.
You are allowed to say no.
You are allowed to leave.
And it is never too late to set a boundary.

At Valor, we don't just teach physical techniques. We teach women and girls awareness, boundaries, confidence and practical skills to protect themselves when words are no longer enough.

First class FREE.
