You can benefit from this course regardless of whether you generally consider yourself to be “out of shape” or “super-fit”.
However, the workshop requires some level of physical ability and mobility. If you have joint injuries or wear and tear then this particular workshop may not be suitable for you.
It may be advisable to seek medical clearance with a medical professional prior to participation.

If possible, please enrol with a partner who is female, as we are working in pairs.

The session will consist of a light warm up so as to prevent injuries. Following this, there will be some form of well-controlled ‘grabbing’ and escaping.
For these reasons longer length clothing items (covering the legs up to the ankles and arms up to the wrists) will be more suitable for this training.
Due to the physical nature of the activity we do not advise wearing your newest, best or most treasured clothing.

Please avoid items with chords that are not tied up (such as hooded tops with chords in them).

Please remove jewellery and watches prior to the class.

Specifically designed to make participants more resilient. We teach learners how to escape threatening and/or violent situations so that they do not have to stay to fight but can get away.
