Self defence for women

• How to scan your surroundings and recognize deflecting behaviour
• Verbal as well as physical defence
• Techniques to keep distance
• Freeing yourself from an attacker’s grasp.
• Defending yourself from the ground.
• Training the right attitude.
• Sharing experiences.

Self-defence training is specifically designed to empower women — both mentally and physically. You’ll learn not only how to set boundaries and handle difficult or threatening situations, but also how to use your posture and voice to project strength and confidence.

What’s the difference with the course Resilience for women? Resilience focuses primarily on physical techniques to protect yourself when absolutely necessary. Self-defence training is broader: it starts with preventing, recognizing, and responding to situations before they escalate.

In short: it’s not a martial arts class, but a boost for your self-confidence and safety — in any situation.
