Self Defence Program - Newry

Self Defence - 4 week Program Self-defence classes offer value beyond just learning physical techniques. They empower individuals with essential skills to protect themselves and improve confidence. By participating in self-defence courses, individuals acquire practical knowledge about defending against potential threats and also develop a heightened awareness of their surroundings. This awareness can translate into greater ability to assess risks more effectively in everyday life. Participants will have better mental preparedness and assertiveness and learn how to remain calm under pressure. They will have improved physical fitness and overall health and ultimately have a healthier lifestyle. Beyond the physical benefits, these classes can also serve as a social outlet, building connections with like-minded individuals who share similar goals of self-improvement and personal safety. The positive impact of classes extends into the safety of the wider Newry community, as individuals become more confidence in protecting themselves they contribute to the collective sense of security. Each of the programmes will engage 8-10 participants across four sites within the five mile radius of the shared housing catchment in Newry. This event will take place from 7pm to 9pm at Craigmore ABC.
