This class is the most popular at the school. Anyone who wishes to attend must complete one of our 2 Day Introduction Courses first or complete a couple of one to one private lessons before joining the Thursday class. The introduction courses take place once a month. Our next one is Sat & Sun, April 22nd & 23rd, 2017.
The Thursday night class addresses all aspects of self-defence and self-protection. It is a two hour class divided into two one hour classes.
The first hour deals with weapons defence, i.e. knife defence (attacks & threats), gun disarms, baton defence etc.
