About the Workshops
We offer two different workshops as part of the Warrior Project:
Workshop 1: Standing Self-Defence
Learn practical, easy-to-remember techniques to protect yourself while standing, focusing on awareness, prevention, and defensive moves you can use in everyday situations.
• Situational awareness and de-escalation skills
• Boundary setting through body language and voice
• Effective standing self-defence techniques for common threats
Workshop 2: Ground and Weapons Defence
This workshop focuses on how to defend yourself if you’re taken to the ground and basic self-defence techniques against weapons.
• Escapes and defensive moves from the ground
• Understanding and reacting to weapon threats
• Building confidence in high-pressure situations
You can attend either workshop individually or join both for a complete self-defence foundation.
