IWD: Self Defence Class

Sunday 8th Mar 12:00 - Sunday 8th Mar 14:00
From £0.00
The Students' Union, Third Space

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we are running a free self defence class designed to build confidence, strength, and real-world skills.

Delivered in collaboration with the Basic Self Defence Society, this session will give you the opportunity to learn practical techniques in a supportive, empowering environment. Our instructors will guide you through how to punch effectively, break free from holds, and push beyond what you thought you were capable of.

Whether you have trained before or you are a complete beginner, this class is about feeling stronger, more aware, and more confident in your own body. Expect high energy, encouragement, and a room full of people backing each other.
