What we'll do

Women-Only Self-Defence Training This course is designed by women, for women, focusing on real-world situations and practical skills that help you feel stronger, safer, and more confident in your everyday life. In collaboration with Combat Survival Training — any future classes will be held in Tilgate. What You’ll Learn: Awareness & Prevention Develop situational awareness to recognise potential risks early and make safer choices Learn how to set clear boundaries using confident body language and voice Practise de-escalation skills to deter unwanted behaviour before it becomes physical Understand how everyday objects can be used safely as tools for self-protection Practical, Realistic Self-Defence Build a strong, grounded stance and learn how to generate power effectively Use natural instinctive reactions under stress to protect yourself Break free from wrist, clothing, and hair grabs Defend against chokeholds, bear hugs, and attempts to restrain or lift you Depending on the group, explore simple and effective ground-based escapes All techniques are adaptable to different bodies, strengths, and abilities — no prior experience required. Training Options: 6-Week Course: Ideal for those who want time to practise, repeat techniques, build confidence, and develop strong muscle memory in a supportive environment. Short Workshop: A faster-paced option that still covers all techniques, designed to give you practical tools and confidence in a shorter timeframe. This is a supportive, women-only space where participation is always optional, respect is paramount, and empowerment—not fear—is the focus.
