Women's Self-Defence

Building inner and outer strength through self-defence

Our Women’s Self-Defence Workshops

Women’s Self-Defence at Elements Academy is a comprehensive system of simple and realistic self-defence techniques that are highly useful and effective. Our instruction prioritizes skill rather than strength to immobilize and subdue an aggressor while minimizing danger and damage to yourself. We simulate scenarios from standing and ground positions that include grabs and holds from behind, take-downs, and common chokes. Feel confident that the skills you learn with us will make you a prepared, more empowered, formidable woman.

Level 1 Women’s Self-Defence Workshop – 
Join us for a in-depth introduction to self-defence. Level 1 workshops take you through a number of escapes from standing attacks and give you a strong set of tools to both physically and mentally help you out of bad situations. Learn practical, effective, technical escapes from a variety of situations. Open to all self-identified women and led by female instructors.
Level 2 Women’s Self-Defence Workshop – 
Join us for a deeper experience learning self-defence. Level 2 workshops build on the techniques introduced in level 1. After reviewing our level 1 escapes, we will spend the majority of our time exploring practical, effective,  technical escapes from being trapped on the ground underneath an attacker. Open to all self-identified women and led by female instructors.
