Female Self Defence Classes – Free for Levy Payers

28 March @ 17:00 - 19:00

Merseyside Police, Liverpool BID Company and Liverpool City Council are committed to reducing violence against women and girls. Through funding obtained from the City safe board we are pleased to offer female self-defence classes to women and girls who live, work or socialise within the City Centre. Liverpool City Centre has recently been awarded the Purple Flag for the 14th consecutive year for demonstrating a safe and well managed night time economy, and this project is just one of many initiatives taking place across the City Centre that aims to keep women and girls safe.

The course includes theory and practical elements on things such as:

  • Self Defence and the Law (Common Law of Self Defence).
  • Communication Skills (Betari’s Box, Components of Communication, De-escalation Skills).
  • Body language (Warning and Danger Signs).
  • Raising Awareness (Coopers Colour Codes).
  •  Practical defences, striking points, blocking and weapon awareness.

The course is split across 3 sessions each lasting 2 hours per week over 3 consecutive weeks.
Spaces are limited to 16 places per course and must be booked via the BID.
