This lesson is created especially for people wanting to learn street smart self defence that can be used in immediate situations. We will touch on the skills learned in the previous self-defence lesson held last year (it was some time ago) and also increase skills to include floor escape.

You’ll be learning:

• Wrist grab escapes
• Dealing with escalating situations
• Defence from hold against a wall
• Floor escape
  and other scenarios that the group brings forward, dependent on what you are comfortable with.

You’ll need to bring:

• Clothes that you are comfortable in e.g. tracksuit pants and t-shirt.
• Bottle of water
• Short finger nails (you may end up scratching yourself or others accidentally).

We can have up to 15 people participate. Places are limited so don’t be shy and register NOW!!!

If you are interested in participating, please RSVP by Friday 16 February 2018 to fiona.chan@unitedhousing.org.au or call 9689 8157.
