Beginners self defence classes are back on at Danceworks! This is a great way to hit those (possibly long forgotten) new year resolutions - get fit, learn something new, meet new poeple.
Self defence is no longer about being the last man standing in the ring, or being able to do jumping spinning kicks to someone's head. Was it ever?! (there are better places to do these things and this is the wrong Meetup! )
Shorinji kempo is a modern system of self defence that combines tech...nical principles (for example the physiology of the body) with the training of the mind (for example remaining calm under pressure).
In the 2 hour class you will learn some basic self defence principles alongside other beginners and experienced practitioners, and find out why it is good for your physical health, mindfulness and self-confidence.
All you need to bring is £10 (to cover the class and month's trial insurance), gym clothes you can move easily in, and a bottle of water.
