A weekend course in self-defence that covers both the physical and the psychological sides of protecting yourself. You are introduced to how to defend yourself and how to handle a conflict that escalates.
The course teaches the basic techniques, including blocks, strikes, kicks, holds, locks and throws. You also learn how to calm a conflict down, and the sessions work with body language around power and powerlessness, and with the language of discussion and aggression. Eva-Andrea Erichsen, who has trained karate and martial arts since childhood, teaches both children and adults, and is a psychologist and cognitive coach in her day job.
