Frequently asked questions
What exactly will I learn in the session? You'll learn how to escape when a bigger, stronger person is holding you down, and then how to put them in an armlock to finish the fight.
Do I need any experience or have to be fit? Not at all. Our Fundamentals programme is designed for complete beginners, regardless of age, fitness or experience. Training is gentle, safe and broken down step by step.
I'm worried about joining a class with men. Can I start in a women-only environment? Yes. We recommend women start with our LadySafe women-only self-defence class. When you're ready you can move to the main classes with confidence.
What if I decide not to carry on after the intro? No problem at all. There is no obligation to sign up. The only cost is the £10 uniform hire.
We are located above Junction Motors near Flourish Craft Bakery, with plenty of parking around the academy.
