Women’s Self Defence

08/09/2026

Today we delivered an ‘Introduction to Women’s Self Defence’ in Alvaston, Derby.
With the VAWG Agenda(Violence Against Women and Girls) being a high priority in Derby and across the UK this session felt timely and essential.
We covered Awareness, Boundaries, Law and Physical Self Defence tactics.
Above all it was a space for women to come together, discuss their experiences, support each other and leave feeling more confident and prepared.
Thank you to all that attended the session. Your openness and enthusiasm was truly inspirational and has energised us to continue doing what we love 🙌🏼
Thank you to Move More Derby and Livewell for supporting and hosting the event.
