Self Defence Workshop for Women

Self Defence Workshop

for Women

Learn skills that could protect you and your family from harm. Workshops provide a friendly, safe environment to learn very important skills, including avoidance, de-escalation, and escape from potentially dangerous situations. No ongoing commitment. These workshops run throughout the year at Personal Strength, and on request for school and corporate groups.

Courage is not
the Absence of Fear

It is the presence of fear
yet the will to continue!

Studies show a relationship between self defence or assertiveness training and women’s physical and psychological responses to subsequent attacks.

Victims with pre-assault training were less likely to be assaulted (1) and more likely to resist (2). Further, that resistance stopped the offender or made him less aggressive than victims without training (2). Women with training before the assaults were angrier and less scared during the incident than women without training (2). Learning self defence skills can make a difference.

Learn & Practice:

  • Strategies and tactics
  • Psychological preparation
  • Verbal de-escalation skills
  • Effective physical techniques
  • Specific scenarios, relevant to you

What you can expect:

  • A friendly and supportive environment
  • An instructor with over 15 years experience
  • Empowerment, not mansplaining!
  • Dispelling of martial arts ‘myths’
  • To walk out more confident and more competent

You owe it to yourself and your family to learn skills to help protect yourself.
By all means, bring a friend!

Self Defence For Women
Tim’s workshop has provided me a great insight of defending myself in dangerous situations. It was comprehensive and easy to understand. Started with knowing nothing about self defence, I walked away with confidence of protecting myself in just 2 hours.

Tim’s self-defence class gave me the skills to be more confident in being able to protect myself as well as making me more aware of my surroundings and being able to read situations before they got out of hand. Thanks Tim.

UPDATE: it's been almost 5 years since I left this review. We're still going strong! I'm still training with Tim 💪 My now 10-year-old son is still doing Ninjas classes 👍 Great local gym with a very welcoming environment. I've been training with Tim for almost 2 years and I always enjoyed his personalised approach which helped me to achieve my goals. Tim is always very encouraging and makes each training session challenging, but rewarding. Apart from training adults, Tim is excellent working with kids and my 5.5yo son is always looking forward for his next Little Ninjas classes, which he started as a 3-year-old. Kids classes are always fun, with a mix of games and various exercises teaching self-awareness and safety. I would definitely recommend FunFit to everyone.

Tim always keeps the workouts fresh and interesting and was always committed to safety. Workouts were always challenging but catered to the level you were at. Never a boring session and looked forward to them always. Great community feel and music too! Only reason I'm not going anymore is because I moved to the other side of Sydney.

Both my 4 year old girl and 6 year boy absolutely love the classes. They've done lots of other activities over the years but there's something about being a little ninja that makes them light up and they enjoy every minute of the class.
