My name is Emily. I trained ITF taekwondo for 15 years and owned a taekwondo business for 3 years. Throughout this time not only have I attained my 4th degree black belt, I have learnt skills and life lessons that have shaped the person I am today. I will continue to use these skills throughout my life.
Taekwondo has always been my passion and a way in which I live my life, This being confident, respectful, aware, brave, strong minded, disciplined and committed.
I'd like to share my knowledge to the women of our community to help create a safer environment in which we live.
My aim is to
- Teach women basic self defence techniques and life skills that could potentionally save their life one day, and the life of others. This knowledge can be used in everyday life.
- Help women struggling with self confidence and to become more confident within the community.
- Form a community of women that look out for one another and protect eachother.
- Empower women.
What to expect
- basic self defence techniques
- defence against knives, battons and attacks
- lean how to escape from grabs and holds
- learn various takedowns derived from aikido.
- avoidance techniques.
- a positive, relaxed environment where you can be yourself and express yourself freely.
I am offering private lessons, lessons with a friend or relative and some small group sessions.
Private lessons will be from 5pm to 6pm Monday to Friday and varied times on weekends.
I welcome women of all ages, fitness levels and capabilities to give my private lessons a go.
