Open to women aged 12 and over, the seminar will be held at Horsham’s Forest School BEC building on Saturday, February 4.

The session, which will take place from 2pm until 4.30pm, costs £10.

It will help participants to learn the fundamentals of basic self defence and self awareness to protect oneself and stay safe.

This includes: how to be aware and avoid physical confrontation; communication and distraction techniques to de-escalate a verbal confrontation; simple but effective blocks and counter attacks to defend oneself; how to adapt an approach to knife/gun defence; and steps to follow after a confrontation, and how to build confidence from it.
