Women experience a wide variety of assaults so in our classes we teach a large range of self-defence options that you can adapt to fit the situations you may find your self in.
Our classes teach you more than just the physical responses to an attack, we also cover attack prevention and verbal defence.

Fight Back UK provides a learning environment designed to address the particular needs of women. There are many reasons why we teach a womens self-protection course and not an open course for both sexes. While men are more likely to be attacked by strangers, women face the greatest danger from people they know (89% of women who experience rape or attempted rape are assaulted by someone they know). Every persons body is different so our classes utilise techniques that will best use your strengths to the maximum. Women and men are attacked differently and for different reasons. Women are attacked with intent to rape much more often than a man does, which means that the attacker will want the fight to go to the ground so (this may involve the attacker pining the victim so they can gain better control). In the class we discuss the psychology of an attacker because there are many different reasons for the attack. Also women are less expected to fight back so this gives women more of an element of surprise.

Our comprehensive self defence classes are tailored to your individual or group needs, and range in length from a three-hour one off class to a six week class.
