Female Self Defence Workshop

Violence is not a nice thing to think about, and is a scary thing to go and study, BUT you need not fear, CDA is a friendly and welcoming space for you to learn.  We make sure that you receive a warm welcome and that your concerns and anxieties are listened to,  The training is fun although serious, physical but accessible to all.

We FIGHT out of LOVE for our family and friends, not out of ANGER!  We just want to get home safe and live a good life! This is how we approach our training, and this is what gives us the strength to survive in difficult situations. ​CDA recognises that the fault of violence towards women lays with the men/women who perpetrate the crime, but until we can fix that problem with society women face potential threats to their safety.  These threats can be minimised with the correct training and mindset.  We run group workshops throughout the year as well as offering private or small group sessions.  The aim of the training is to give a basic overview of the facts, a sharp reality check, and a realistic appraisal of your options should something happen. We cover types of assault, the law, strategies and tactics, and physical response options.  Our goal is not to make fighters but to help you survive. The Workshop lasts 3 hours and is for all shapes, sizes and fitness levels.
