What will I learn?
You will learn both the soft skills (your preparation) and the physical skills of self-defence to also include pre-emptive strikes, live-scenario drills and drills to help train your fight, flight or freeze response to fear.
I'm new to any martial arts training, can i join?
Yes! If you have no previous experience you are going to learn the fundamentals of martial arts, so you have a foundation of martial knowledge to build upon. These fundamentals include, strikes (punches, palm strikes, elbows, kicks, knees), stand up clinch, takedowns and the basics of floor fighting. You will also learn simple yet effective footwork, and how to generate striking power. All at your own pace.
I've got martial arts training experience, is this class for me?
Yes. You are going to work your fundamentals of striking to include punches, palm strikes, elbows, kicks, knees. You’ll work power generation with and without a preload. What you need to know in the clinch in a self-defence context. What throws are most effective and least risky. What to do if you end up on the floor and multiple opponents.
What will I gain from these classes?
You will know what to do if the worst should happen and you find yourself in a self-defence situation. We will teach you how to avoid and also how to fight. What works, what doesn’t.
These sessions are also a great way to meet new people in your local community, whilst empowering yourself. Self-defence can be a gritty subject to cover, so we always make sure we keep things light and have some fun on the way, but we also make sure you have realistic expectations of what real-life non-consensual violence really is.
The Self-Defence and marital arts fundaments classes are led by coach Kitty, certified under the Combat Coach program (World Combat Association) in Self Protection under renowned coaches Iain Abernethy and Peter Consterdine.
“Josh and Kitty have been so great to learn under, the club feels more like a family than any other club. I think that’s due to how much effort and passion the instructors put into it. I’ve learned so much and would recommend the club to anyone!”
