Our Suffragette Self-Defence Course for Women is a unique take on modern self defence. Whilst all of the techniques learned are 100% relevant to modern self defence, you’ll also learn some of the history and struggles of the women’s suffrage moment.

Each lesson will be led by experienced coach Lauren Ireland, and as well as some physical skills to keep you safe you’ll learn about de-escalation, situational awareness, dealing with physical violence against people bigger and stronger than you, as well as exploring the legalities regarding self-defence in the UK.

The course will run for six Wednesday evenings between 19:00 and 20:30 starting on the 4th of November. The course will take place at our regular training venue, the Melbourne Centre, on Escrick Street, YO10 4AW.

It costs £60 for six weeks of training, and functions both as a standalone module and also as a beginner’s course if you wish to learn more about grappling or boxing at one of our regular weekly classes when the course has finished.

This course is open to all women regardless of age, fitness or ability level. If you have any doubts please drop me an e-mail using chris@yorkschoolofdefence.co.uk or WhatsApp me and we can chat about your individual requirements.
