Self defence workshop

Self Defence workshops delivered to children and young people from the ages of 10-18. These workshops aim to give children and young people the knowledge and education of how to protect themselves within the community. 

They are taught how to identify potential dangers and de-escalate confrontation situations. The workshops cover building confidence, verbal de-escalation and physical intervention with the overall aim to get to a place of safety. 

Update

• In 2023, 11 self-defence workshops were delivered to children and young people aged ten to 18 in six different schools/clubs with 196 children participating. These workshops aimed to give children and young people the knowledge and education of how to protect themselves within the community covering building confidence, verbal de-escalation and physical intervention techniques.
• Feedback was received from 191 participants where 99% of participants responded that they enjoyed taking part in the Self Defence workshops and 88% felt more confident after completing the workshop.
