Adapted Group Self Defence

A practical session designed around the people taking part and the way they learn best.

A More Personal Way to Build Everyday Confidence

We begin by understanding the group, including access requirements, experience levels, and the situations participants want to feel more prepared for. The session then combines clear instruction with adaptable practice, so everyone can engage meaningfully without being expected to move in one particular way.

The focus is on awareness, communication, boundaries, positioning, and simple self defence responses. I create a calm environment where questions are welcome and activities can be adjusted as the session develops, including for wheelchair users and participants with different physical or sensory needs.

Ideal For

  • Community and support groups

  • Wheelchair users and mixed-ability groups

  • Schools, workplaces, and organisations

  • Groups seeking practical confidence-building

How It Works

  1. Share Your Needs: Tell me about your group, access requirements, and aims.

  2. Shape The Session: I adapt the content, activities, and format to suit participants.

  3. Train Together: The group learns and practises practical skills in a supportive setting.
