Power in Every Step: Self-Defence Workshop

Self-Defense Location, 17A, Harbour View, Heron Road, BT3 9LE,, Belfast, GB

Ready to kickstart a new skill and have some fun while doing it? Join us for a 3-hour self-defense class focused on the dynamic art of jiu jitsu, a practice designed to build confidence, awareness, and strength.

Details:
🕤 Meeting time: 09:30 (Start time: 10:00 sharp)
⏳ Duration: 3 hours
💷 Price: £36

We’ll kick things off with a walkthrough of self-defense basics followed by a group warm-up. Then it’s into the action with 1.5 to 2 hours of hands-on instruction, led by two fantastic instructors who’ll guide us through different techniques and forms.

To finish up, we’ll have an optional sparring session, a light-hearted, fully controlled space to try out what we’ve learned (only if you’re feeling up for it!).

✨ All fitness levels are welcome. This class will be tailored to suit everyone, whether you’re a total beginner or already a bit of a ninja!

While the session will be relaxed and fun, you’ll also be learning practical and empowering skills that cover the fundamentals of self-defense, tools you can carry with you beyond the class.

This is all about learning, laughter, and feeling empowered. No pressure, no judgment. Just a safe, inclusive space to try something new with your community 💪🌈
