The Women's Street Smart Self-Defence workshop is probably the most intense, comprehensive, enjoyable & hands-on women's self-defence syllabus in New Zealand. The instructors know not to spend too much time talking and utilise as much time as possible demonstrating and making sure everyone masters the techniques shown.

This workshop is rated R13 and above - so only those aged 13 and above can attend due to the content taught. Saturday we start at 12 noon & Sunday we start at 10.00am both days finishing at 4.30pm

So what sort of things can you expect to learn at this workshop?

• You learn the vital parts of the body - parts of the body that are vulnerable & easy to attack.
• Learn how to block an attack confidently.
• Learn how to defend yourself against slaps, punches, pushes & grabs.

What we teach is how to deal with the worst-case scenario, when the awareness, avoidance and de-escalation have failed, it all turns physical, there's no obvious way to escape & you have to fight back.
