richo22 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Can any one offer any advice on a good self defence class to take and where to do it. My sister is a nurse and often has to walk quite a way to her car on her own at night, so I want her to get herself handy in a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upinwath Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Don't go to a female only class. Go to one where there are loads of blokes. Not much chance of you being attacked by another woman so learn how to defend against a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceej Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Try, http://www.kapapsheffield.co.uk Craig Yes give KAPAP a try. No nonsense and very effective - all techniques tried and tested in stress conditions. Good atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconded, female only classes aren't going to teach you to defend yourself from anything but other women who are too scared to go to a mixed class.

Yawn, oh no I can see where this thread may end up going. Judgeing by what I'm reading I'd be inclined to go to Kepap, or to ChiefKickers Kickboxing class (been to both, very good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerBJJ Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Try a women's only class. Try a mixed/men-only class (they're usually "mixed" because 1 woman trains there once every 6 months). Better yet, learn how to use a knife. No. That's not a knife. This is a knife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me if you please. P.S to everyone else. AFK do mixed gender classes too as well as the womens only on thursday so feel free to pop along.
