Programme

These sessions are taught by highly skilled, approachable trainers who create a respectful and safe environment for the girls to deal with the realities of their need to be able to defend themselves. To ensure a well- balanced interactive session, the number of trainers will be dependent on the number of students in a class. Although this programme has been designed for teenage girls, it can be adapted to include boys. It can also be adapted for adults if required.

The programme will include:

• 1) Basic Strikes (how to hold a fist and where to attack on the human body)
• 2) Defence against an attempted choke hold
• 3) Defence against a hair grab
• 4) A hold against hostiles if they throw a punch
• 5) How to manoeuvre if ever you find yourself on your back (either use the triangle hold or an arm bar)
