Radical Practical Feminist Self Defence: An Introduction
Join GWL volunteer Carolyn to learn a variety of practical self defence tactics and skills – both verbal and physical – that you can use in your everyday life.
During the workshop, we’ll explain more about how “radical practical feminist self defence” differs from more mainstream approaches, often taught by men. The session is suitable for all ages, bodies, abilities and rooted in the belief that everybody has the right to defend themselves. We’ll adapt what we do to suit you.
Along with two other women, Carolyn set up the ‘Radical Practical Feminist Self Defence’ project in 1999. She has been teaching self defence classes for women, queers of all genders and children ever since.
This workshop accompanies our zine display of ‘self defence zines’.
