A quote from a past attendee: "I felt so much stronger mentally and physically from attending this course. It has really given me the shot of confidence to do things I never dreamed of, and it is SO much more than the self-defence skills that you achieve at the end!"

• Week 2 – Wednesday 14th May 

All sessions will take place from 2-5pm in Davies Hall, Froebel College.

Mixture of theory and practical exercises. All fitness levels welcome.
