Self defence seminars for women, self defence for schools and team-building events in West Wickham
Here at Defence Lab we organise a range of events, seminars, classes and workshops to suit the needs of women’s groups, schools and businesses throughout the local areas, including West Wickham.
- Self defence seminars for women: When it comes to women, many women today have been taught to believe that they can’t defend themselves or that fighting back does not do any good against an attack. Our women’s only events stamp out these myths and provide women with effective self defence techniques. Defence Lab is not a sport and all the techniques focus on maximum efficiency in real-life situations. Many women are attacked because they are seen as easy targets but as well as teaching women the techniques they need to defend themselves, we show them how to spot signs of danger, how to be more aware of their surroundings and how to channel stress and function when faced with a sudden violent encounter. All women’s events are suitable for girls and women of all ages and sessions are tailored to the ages and needs of the group in question. Learn more.
- Self defence for schools: We also work with schools and colleges, where we teach age-appropriate self defence to students of all ages, from primary school-ages upwards. These sessions also focus of issues such as how to handle verbal aggression and bullying. It is critically important that every young person has the tools in which to prevent being bullies and if things escalate and turn violent, that they can confidently defend themselves. Learn more.
- Team-building fitness and self defence for businesses: Our team can organise bespoke events for businesses, focusing on team-building and having fun, whilst also learning essential self defence techniques. The team will learn to work better kore effectively and feel motivated and more confident. Learn more.
