The hour and a half lesson will involve qualified instructors teaching the following:
• Techniques such as wrist locks and wrist releases (no rolling or throwing)
• Social aspects - what to do with verbal harassment, how to stay calm, being aware, how to stop things from escalating
• Real life scenarios such as against a wall, ground defence
• Q&A part in the sessions where participants learn specific defences
Spaces are limited to 15 people per session.
