Self-defence · Guided practice

Built around you.

For women who want to feel more aware, prepared and confident in everyday life, whether or not they have any martial arts or fitness background.

No previous experience is expected. Sessions are intended to respect each participant’s pace, comfort and individual needs.

The intended focus.

Awareness & risk recognition

Noticing your surroundings, recognising early warning signs and making calm, timely decisions.

Boundaries & de-escalation

Setting clear verbal and physical boundaries, and practising ways to defuse tension before it escalates.

Practical guided movement

Simple, coach-led defensive movement practised at a pace that suits each participant.

Confidence & individual needs

Building confidence step by step, with sessions adapted to different fitness levels, experience and comfort.

Training can build awareness and confidence, but no course can guarantee personal safety in every real-world situation.

Planned, not yet scheduled.

This program is in planning for Toronto and Brampton. Dates, venues, fees and session details have not been announced, and registration is not open yet.
