About this Event

Self-Defence & Personal Safety Workshop – Ladies & Girls Only

💥 Ready to feel safer, stronger, and more confident? Join us for a hands-on, empowering workshop that will equip you with practical self-defence skills you can use in everyday life.

This is Workshop 1 of 2 in our series, delivered as part of the Warrior Project – a National Lottery-funded initiative by Ignite Your Power CIC. In this 2 year project, we'll be running 60 FREE workshops across Hampshire to help women and girls build strength, resilience, and safety awareness.

🔴 Workshop 1: Introduction to Self-Defence
Who it's for: Women and girls aged 12+
Length: 90 minutes
Focus: Confidence, awareness, and essential standing defence techniques

What you'll learn:

  • How to trust your intuition and set clear boundaries
  • Understanding personal space and assertive communication
  • Key principles for self-defence and personal safety
  • Defensive stance and foundational movement techniques
  • Escaping common standing grabs (wrist holds, arm grabs, clothing grabs, grabs from behind)
  • De-escalation strategies to prevent conflict
  • Real-life scenario discussions
  • Empowerment through practice – not panic

Extra bonus: Stay for the optional Q&A after the workshop to get personalised advice from our friendly, experienced female instructor.

💡 You'll leave feeling more confident, aware, and ready to take control of your personal safety – in a supportive, judgement-free environment where everyone is cheering each other on.

💰 Cost: FREE – thanks to National Lottery funding
⚠️ Spaces are limited – secure your spot today!

New to self-defence? This is the perfect starting point. We recommend completing Workshop 1 before attending Workshop 2.

Please note: This event is for ladies and girls aged 12+ only.
