Self-defense workshop

Thursday 26 February 2026, 7:30 pm - 9 pm

Learn to defend yourself and feel safe wherever you go! We live in strange times and (unfortunately) self-defence is becoming increasingly necessary.

During this workshop, you will learn the basics of self-defence, covering the following points:

  • Short warm-up
  • De-escalation and standing firm
  • Use of voice, your first line of defence
  • Creating distance and being aware of your surroundings (where are the escape routes)
  • Using your surroundings and objects (as defence but also as weapons)
  • What to do if someone grabs your arm, clothing or hair
  • Striking without using your fist, but with maximum effect
  • Defending against punches
  • Kicking
  • Fighting dirty (this can be essential in a dangerous situation!)
  • Cooling down

After the training, each participant will receive a small gift.

Wear clothing that allows you to move easily, and bring an old jumper or cardigan that can be pulled on. We train without shoes.

Practical information:

  • Costs: 37.50 euros members | 55.00 euros non-members
