Helping women to keep themselves safe
Women's Personal Safety course
This is a comprehensive course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk
avoidance, and includes simple but effective physical techniques to defend against sexual assault or
rape. It is not a martial arts course. We take an holistic approach to self defence and explore issues
such as finding your voice, believing in yourself and developing your inner as well as physical strength.
The course lasts 9 hours and covers:
Every participant receives a detailed 70-page manual containing advice, tips
and pictures of the physical techniques covered.
Women who complete the course become a member of the Freedom Personal
Safety Network. This gives you the opportunity to attend other basic
physical defence courses free of charge to practice your techniques to
build your confidence.
We can deliver the course over 2, 3 or 4 sessions or whatever best suits
you. We are happy to discuss timings around the needs of individual groups.
We can run courses for between 6 and 12 women.

offer discounts for non-profit making groups and individuals - please email us at
