Fight Like A Girl- FLAG. Ladies Self Defence

07/06/2020

🎀Local ladies 🎀

Many of you are aware of local incidents in the area. (Those who arent aware, the man has been arrested so no threat to worry about!) My biggest concern is the ripples left in the minds of women who dont feel they can go out alone. People i have spoken to have mentioned to me they are already having feelings of heightened anxiety about going back out in to the world after lockdown. I HATE the thought that actions of one can make this worse. 😔

I wanted to drop a really basic video with some simple self defence tips for you to practice at home (gently!) if possible. (It is hard to cover the more technical moves without prior training but hopefully the masses can get something from this) 🤞

Remember the common mindset of a random attacker... they THINK they are stronger than you. They ASSUME you will not know how to defend yourself. They RELY on you being intimidated. But they are only human. Even the slightest move could make them change their minds and leave you alone!

Self defence isnt about a battle of physical strength. Techniques and reaction times become second nature from regular training but whilst that isnt possible, try this!

I am happy to try and help with any individual concerns so feel free to get in touch or share this post.

Stay positive ✌

💚Mental Health Awareness Week💚
True then, and especially now. Why not Virtually check up on friends, family, people you havent spoken to for a while. Makes everyone feel better🙂.
Dont forget to check in with your self too. Do at least 2 things a day for self care. (Including eating well, being active and avoiding looking at content that doesnt make you feel good) 💚✌💚✌💚✌💚✌💚✌💚✌💚✌💚✌💚

💚World Mental Health Day💚 Be Kind. Be kind to yourself, your colleagues, your friends, your family, a stranger. Ask if someone is ok.
Training self defence (or any martial arts) can benefit many needs of the body and mind. Improving strength, fitness, co-ordination, reaction times, confidence, patience, self esteem, problem solving, balance, resilience, reduces stress...i could go on! Plus its FUN! See you tonight ladies! Dunmow. 7pm.

In light of the current situation with COVID 19, we have taken the decision to suspend the weekly FLAG self defence classes for the time being.
Members fear not! You are not off the hook! I will be running the class remotely and sending you videos so you can continue training at home where possible and stay active!
(I will share content to social media where possible too incase anyone wants to try something new!)
In the meantime, stay calm, stay safe.
This is temporary.
Focus on what you can change or adapt.
Accept what you cannot.
Ride the waves.
We. Got. This 💪

Ladies talk...we listen... every class, we have a sheet for the FLAG ladies to write down any specific training requests or scenarios they would like to cover. A reocurring concern seems to be defence against weapons.😔 So we have increased our inventory! And will be incorporating the different training techniques more often. Hopefully this will empower the girls and ladies to feel more comfortable.

There will be no FLAG class this evening. I am so sorry for any disappointment. 😣

🥊IMPORTANT NOTICE🥊
The venue for FLAG is not available next week (15th Feb) 👎 so what a great opportunity to hold the class at FLAG HQ... The Martial Arts Centre, Braintree.
This is a great opportunity to use the extra equipment, immerse in the atmosphere and experience the club the members are a part of.
I will be holding more regular sessions at the centre on Fridays in the next few months so watch this space!
