CLASS UPDATE: As of September 2023 I am doing a lot more work in schools and the Wednesday morning Women-Only classes are on hold temporarily. Please get in touch via email if you are interested in joining once I restart, or if you are interested in organising group or corporate sessions.

In my Women-Only Self-Defence classes, in order to maximise the empowerment of women I teach a combination of ‘reality based’ self–defence techniques and mix them with some traditional kali and kickboxing moves.

You’ll get a great workout on the pads learning to kick, punch, knee and elbow which will make you fitter, stronger, more toned and less stressed.

You’ll also learn good situational awareness, from early danger recognition and how to enforce personal boundaries, through to grabs, joint manipulation and escape techniques.

I’ll give you a skillset and the courage to use it, and perhaps most importantly, the increased awareness in order to avoid trouble in the first place.

I aim to make you a safer, happier, more functional you.

Classes are at Kentish Town Community Centre, 17 Busby Place, NW5 2SP at 11 am on Wednesdays.

After two free introductory lessons, women's classes are £12 on a pay-as-you-go basis (although concessions are available) and class size will be limited to 12. Cheaper block bookings are available. The lessons are 75 minutes long. Come along (commitment-free) to see how you can benefit.
