Learn a variety of practical self defence tactics and skills – both verbal and physical – that you can use in your everyday life.
During the workshop, we’ll explain more about how “radical practical feminist self defence” differs from more mainstream approaches, often taught by straight/ cis men.
The session is suitable for all ages, bodies, abilities and rooted in the belief that everybody has the right to defend themselves. We can adapt what we do to suit your body.
Please note: this session is for those who identify as ‘queer’, and we ask that you respect this. If you’re not queer, please don’t sign up for it.
