Frequently Asked
Questions -
women's course
1. Do I need to be fit to join your course?
No. You do not need to be fit or particularly agile.
The course is designed for 'everywoman' regardless
of age or ability. We do some simple warm-up
exercises before we take you through the physical
techniques. You are free to opt out of any part of
the course if you feel uncomfortable or choose not
to take part.
2. What does the course cost?
The standard cost is £1500 per course for public
and commercial organisations and £600 for
community groups, which provides places for 8-12
participants. We can sometimes offer discounts for
non-profit making groups and individuals - please
use the contact form and we will be happy to
discuss this further with you.
3. How much of my time will it take?
The course lasts 9 hours and this is all the time it
will take. You are not required to do any
preparation or homework but many women like to
practice some of the physical techniques on their
own at home between sessions.
4. Is there an age restriction?
The course is aimed at women over the age of 14.
However, participants aged between 14 and 18 will
need a signed parental consent form.
5. Can I bring my daughter with me?
Yes, it is common for mothers and daughters (aged
14+) to attend the course together. In addition to
developing and enhancing their options for self
defence, it seems to be a great bonding experience
for them.
6. I have a medical condition, do I need to bring
a doctor's note with me?
This will depend on the condition you have - please
contact us before you book a course so we can
discuss. Women with conditions such as asthma or
epilepsy can fully participate without any problems.
All participants are required to complete a simple
medical declaration form.
7. Do I need to wear special clothing or shoes?
No. However, you might find it easier to wear
comfortable, loose-fitting clothes and flat shoes
during the practice sessions. This is because we
repeat the techniques a number of times and it will
help with ease of movement.
8. How do I join a course?
You can join as an individual or through a
community group which you are a member of.
Companies and organisations can also commission
courses. Use the form on the contact us page to
send us your request and we will get back to you.
9. When and where is the next course?
We are currently running courses in Greater
Manchester and West Yorkshire. If you would like
to join one of our courses, please contact us to
register your interest and we will get back to you.
If you have a question which is not covered

"it was great getting the
chance to talk to other
women about different
experiences and realising
what risks I had taken. I'll
make sure I won't get into
risky situations again"
