Fight Like A Girl UK

Aside from the practical side we also talk about how to deal with fear, increase awareness and prevention.

The self-defence programme is based on what's likely to happen on the street.

The topics include:

• - anti grab, choke, hair pull, body grab (lift)

• - basics of ground 

• - basics of strike defence 

• - how to make the most of what YOU have and using what is avialible to YOU to get away and out of difficult situations. this includes how to use opponents force against them. 

​

Fight Like A GIrl doesnt only bring pratcial and realistic self-defence techniques and principles to the table, its married in with:
