Female Self Defence Class

Female Only Self-Defence Session
ItsRunByHer & Madhatters Gym meet again to support local women and girls

This session focuses on women’s safety—especially when running or exercising outdoors—but the skills are relevant for all women and girls in everyday life.

We will cover a full spectrum of real-world self-defence, including:

• Situational awareness — spotting danger early and making smart decisions, particularly on routes, parks, and public spaces
• Micro-aggression avoidance & de-escalation — recognising subtle red flags and shutting them down safely
• Teamwork strategies — working in pairs and looking out for each other, because there’s real power in not being alone
• Worst-case scenarios — simple, effective techniques for when avoidance isn’t an option

This is a practical, confidence-building session in a supportive, female-only environment—designed to help you feel safer, stronger, and more in control whether you’re out for a run, travelling, or just going about daily life.
