The classes are friendly and supportive, and new members are welcomed. Our classes are sutiable for all fitness level and levels of experience, from complete beginners to experienced martial artists.

We run self-defence courses for women several times a year. These are open to all women aged 16 and up. These courses are suitable for women who are more comfortable training in a women-only setting. The courses provide an introduction to krav maga self-defence, with special focus on the advantages and disadvantages that women generally have in a self-defence situation. Participants learn how to defend against some attacks commonly faced by women, and practice effective kicks and punches, which are tools that can be used in most self-defence situations.
These courses are suitable for women who want learn how to keep themselves safe, and for women looking for a different and fun way of exercising, that also teaches you how to keep yourself safe.
