FAQs
Is there any contact in this class?
There is precision striking on training pads and bags. During the classes I wil be showing you how to disengage with your opponent. In order to do so, I will be holding your wrist and shoulders. There will also be light contact if we go through basic weapon defence but there is no point in the class that you will be hurt.
I have never had martial arts lessons before, is this right class for me?
Yes. This is the ideal way to discover key self defence skills using martial arts.
Do you have to be fit?
No, this trial program suits all fitness levels and little to no previous experience.
What should I wear to class?
Participants should wear comfortable and loose fitting clothes.
Reviews
I can’t tell you how profound that experience was… what Andre did for us was shift a mindset for me just by teaching us basic moves it made me really understand that I’m not a victim, no matter what happens I can actually engage with whatever is happening and I can fight back. She really showed us how. It was amazing! It just changed my mind completely and I’ll never forget that experience.

Andre's women's self defence class was highly educational but also really fun. The two hour class flew by... Highly recommend trying out one of Andre's classes if you want to feel better equipped to defend yourself in a range of potentially dangerous situations. Thanks Andre!
