How to take a self-defence class by Zoe

"One of the most beneficial things I've ever done!"

How I did it: I was shopping in Guildford with two friends one weekend and someone approached us asking if we would be interested in taking a kickboxing self-defence class, and offered a free introductory lesson. My two friends weren't really too keen on the idea but I managed to persuade one of them to come with me.
The next week we went to the intro lesson and it was really fun. We then signed up for 6 months worth of lessons. After that I had to quit as the lessons were expensive, but my friend carried on for another two years. Guess she was glad I managed to get her to go!

Lessons & tips:

  • Give anything a try
  • People who approach you on highstreets aren't always annoying!

Denis27 it's good to be at home!

And is your friend confident?..

..That she is able for self-defence now? Ask her but she must answer honestly. You see there is a big difference between lessons of slef-defence and fun lessons. But I think fun is also good. We don’t need to be in alert state everyday. Fighting arts just help us to be in a good shape and what is more important, in a good humour.

I’m still scared of the dark so it doesn’t feel much different! But I am a lot more confident than I used to be, and I like to think that self-defence classes helped with that
