Check out our interview with Claire Bott who is running the workshops on why you should take part:
1- Tell us about Urban Krav Maga.
It’s the most effective and practical system out there for learning how to defend yourself against real-life attacks.
2- Why a women only class?
There are a lot of mixed-gender UKM classes out there, but they all tend to have a largely male client base. While some women are comfortable in male-dominated environments, others aren’t, and I felt it was important that as many women as possible get access to these very useful skills and techniques.
3- How did you get into Krav Maga?
Krav Maga was originally something I did for fitness, as I’d started living a very sedentary lifestyle and it was doing me no good. I thought that getting fit and learning a helpful skill at the same time would kill two birds with one stone.
4- How does a general class work?
The instructor demonstrates the techniques to the students, who then work through them in pairs, taking it in turn to act as “attacker” or “victim”.
5- What do you enjoy about teaching Krav Maga?
I love showing women how their bodies can be a place of strength rather than a place of vulnerability. Lots of women have learned to think of their body as a weak thing that needs to be protected against attack; it’s great to watch my students start to realise that it’s actually a strong force that can fight back against attack.
