Self Defence

Wednesday 9th of February.

Today Transition Year Students participated in a Self Defence Workshop conducted by Mr Brown. We learned how to recognise and avoid dangerous situations, what to expect when in these situations, and how to use ourselves and our surroundings to protect ourselves and our friends if in danger.

Mr Brown also taught us how to defend ourselves in a physical fight, and how to disarm an attacker with just a few simple moves. All of the girls participated in hands on action learning these moves.We found them to be very helpful and many admitted that they were not aware of these actions before.

We also all learned how to perfect their stance in public to seem less vulnerable, and how to be safe in crowds.

We enjoyed the workshop and certainly have benefited from what we learnt. Many thanks to Mr Brown.
