    Had to quickly say that the course is a brilliant idea. I did a compulsary one in sixth form, and I am very glad I did as not only did it teach me how to look after myself if anything did happen it also taught me how to not get into dangerous situations so I will be telling all my friends to find out more about your course!! Thanks tinkers for looking out for us women!! :-)
    :DIf I am laughing, then I don't understand!! :D

    1. Learn to drive
    2. Learn to look after me and not feel guilty for the odd treat
    3. Never EVER take running water and central heating for granted!!
  • Sorry to ask but am i to late for this course?? Hi, I have not posted in this part of the forum before so please forgive me if this is in the wrong place!!!

    I teach women's self defence and at the moment am running a ten week (2 1/2 hours each week on a Tuesday evening) course funded by the WEA (an adult learning organisation), this is aimed at women in improving their safety both in a physical and non-physical way.

    This course is completely free and women from anywhere in the Manchester area, you do not have to be from a specific location/ postcode at all. As long as you can get there-a Women's centre in the centre of Manchester.

    Please also note that any woman, over 16 can attend with limited mobility/ older age group or other restrictions.

    This is a fantastic course and I love teaching it, however because there is no big advertising budget for these courses, as I work for a voluntary organisation sometimes the amount of women that may come don't know about it................that's why I am putting this post- on my favourite website!!! Because I know a lot of people come on here, more than we could reach through putting a few posters around!! And after all this is the ultimate money saving!!!! FREE! :j

    I really do apologise if I should not have posted this but we want the course to run and need the numbers to be good on the course.

    Please PM me if you are interested and I can give you further information.

    Thanks xx[/QUOTE]
  • Hi Tinkers,

    hope its not too late to ask for some details of the future self defence classes around Manchester area.

    Thank you.
  • Hi there,

    Is this course still running? I'm really interested.

    Thanks
  • Hi Tinkers,

    I'm going to ask the exact same question, but are there any classes on at the moment that some friends and i can join? All and any information would be much appreciated.

    Thank You :A
  • Hi there, I'm really hoping this is still going because it sounds perfect. I'm going travelling on my own and would feel a lot safer having had a few self defence lessons! I also have a couple of friends who are wanting to come along too if its still running. Any details shared would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hi

    I am bumping this up as I am running a women's self defence course again (have been running them in different areas for a while) in 5 weeks time in Manchester.

    This is a 6 week course and is basic self defence & personal safety, suits women of all levels and abilities to escape from the most serious scenarios.

    If any woman wants further details please send me a message via personal messages.

    Thanks
  • Really helpful thanks
  • Hi Tinkers, I can't PM you at the moment. Are you still running these classes?
  • I can't seem to message you either but I'd be grateful if you could let me know if they were still running!
