***** For people not training regularly, a workshop can only serve as an introduction to self-defence concepts and techniques. No single workshop or class can effectively prepare you to defend yourself in the wide range of situations you could encounter on the street. Although the concepts and techniques covered are easily learned and executed, regular training and practise are strongly recommended.

***** Pre-registration must be completed no later than 7:00 PM on the day before the event to qualify for free admission.

***** The actual agenda may be revised to adapt to the needs and interests of workshop participants.
