Women’s self-defence workshop

A Women’s Street Smart Self-Defence Workshop will be held at the Johnsonville Community Centre on 15 April.

The workshop will run from 10am to 4:30pm at the community centre, which is located at 3 Frankmoore Avenue.

The Women’s Street Smart Self-Defence Workshop is probably the most intense, comprehensive, enjoyable and hands-on women; self-defence syllabus in New

Zealand.

The Street Smart system teaches women how to deal with the worst case scenarios.

When all awareness, avoidance and de-escalation fails, and the situation suddenly turns violent and physical, people realise that there is no other option but to fight back and get themselves to safety.

The workshop provides people the information and skills to achieve this.

People can register for the Johnsonville course at selfdefencecourses.co.nz.
