π₯ FREE WOMEN'S SELF-DEFENCE CLASS π₯
Hi Everyone π
Thank you to everyone who has shown interest β weβve had over 90 replies, which is absolutely fantastic! β€οΈ
The class will take place on Wednesday 23rd September at 6:30pm and will last roughly an hour, although it may run slightly over.
Unfortunately, weβre not going to be able to accommodate everybody who has replied due to the sheer number of people interested.
For this first session, we would like to try and prioritise mothers and daughters, and we will be opening 20 spaces on a first come, first served basis to keep things as fair as possible.
We will be looking to run further sessions in the future, so if you don't get a space this time, there will be more opportunities to take part!
A little bit about what to expect:
This session is designed as a basic introduction to self-defence. Weβll cover some fundamental principles around distance, movement, positioning and simple defensive techniques.
Itβs important to remember that self-defence, just like any martial art, is something that takes time, practice and experience to develop. One session cannot make someone fully competent, and our aim isn't to suggest otherwise.
What we can do is give you a basic understanding of some useful techniques and principles, introduce you to how your body can move and respond under pressure, and hopefully give you some tools that you can continue to develop with further training.
Self-defence situations are also unpredictable. Every situation is different, and factors such as the environment, distance, numbers, size, strength, surprise and stress can all affect what happens. No technique can be guaranteed to work in every circumstance.
Our goal isn't to promise a magic solution, but to give you a realistic introduction to self-defence from a boxing standpoint, help you understand some of the fundamentals, and hopefully leave you feeling a little more aware, confident and prepared.
One of our female students will also be on hand to help out during the session.
If you would like to book onto this session, please drop me a DM and I can add you to the class.
Many thanks,
Jack
