Women’s self-defence workshop in Szczecin on 21 November 2026

What can you practise in three hours?

We start with a familiar situation: someone steps too close during a conversation. Working in pairs, explore how your stance, voice and direction of movement affect the space between you. Later, the group tries selected physical responses and basic strikes. The exercise is about noticing an opportunity to leave as an encounter becomes unsafe.

What to bring on your first visit

Comfortable clothes, clean indoor trainers and water are enough. The instructor adjusts the pace to the group. If a position is uncomfortable, mention it before starting the exercise so you can discuss an adjustment. Anyone under 18 needs permission from a parent or guardian.

Do I need previous training?

You do not need to know technique names or have a sporting background. The opening exercises help you become familiar with the room, the instructor and the rules for working with a partner. You can come alone; partners are arranged during the session. The task is agreed before physical contact begins, and you can stop and ask for a different version if you feel uncomfortable.
Bring one question that matters to you. It might concern an intrusive conversation, someone standing too close or difficulty saying no aloud. This helps connect the exercises with your own needs. Afterwards, write down one useful takeaway and something you want to practise further. Three hours are a starting point; repeating simple skills helps build familiarity over time.

Choosing the correct booking

Open the women’s course page and go to the booking form. In ActiveNow, check the city, date and start time together, because another similarly named workshop takes place in December. If you are coming with a friend, check that both participants are included in the registration.
