FAQs
What is the difference in the 2 hour seminar and the 4 week course?
The two hour seminar is an informative session where we cover key aspects of non-physical self defence you can employ in your everyday life. What is covered in this session will increase your self-awareness and safety from a social perspective. Physical technique is also taught and demonstrated, with the option to observe or participate in the physical technique part of the session.
The four week course is run in 1.5 hour sessions over four weeks. While highly informative, this course covers both non-physical and physical self defence techniques that are practiced across each session.
I have a young adult / teenager that would like to participate. Do you accept teenagers for your events?
These workshops are intended for adults only (18+) due to some of content and nature of scenarios discussed within the sessions. For teen inquiries, please contact us directly.
Do you allow men to present at your events?
No. Our women’s only workshops / events are a safe space for women only. We ask all men to vacate the building prior to sessions commencing and may return at the end of the session if need be.
What do I bring with me?
Yourself, comfortable clothing you can move in - gym / workout gear is fine (please avoid having zippers on your gear as these damage our mats), a water bottle and jumper in cooler weather.
