Women’s Personal Safety & Self-Defence Workshop
with Helen Hamilton-Bradbury
springs
A brand-new workshop designed to empower women with the confidence, awareness, and practical skills to feel safer in everyday life
Led by an expert with over 30 years’ experience training the Military, Police, and national law enforcement agencies, this four-hour immersive workshop teaches simple, effective techniques suitable for all ages, sizes, and fitness levels.
This is practical self-defence, focused on safety, clarity and confidence – not physical strength.
It's informative, engaging and designed to give you skills you can use immediately should you ever need them.
