WOMENS ONLY - SELF DEFENSE CLASSES
Starting - Sunday 22 September 2019
Women's Only - Self-Defense Class
Six Week Rolling Self-Defense Classes for Women, led by a highly experienced Female Judo & Jiu-jitsu Instructor.
Sundays - 9am-10am - Starting on Sunday 22 September
Following the success and popularity of our introductory classes in June, new six week rolling classes will now begin at ASCC.
Students will sign up for six sessions, thereafter there will be a break of two sessions and then a return to another six week block.
These sessions are designed to continue introducing basic self-defense concepts, self awareness and develop confidence.
They will also include
- an understanding of common physical threats and scenarios posed to women,
- physical fitness and strength development
- spatial awareness and movement
Not only will these classes cater for complete beginners, they will also be great fun, help with weight loss and provide a functional way to get fit!
**NOTE - These classes have been instituted based on community feedback and have proven to be very popular.
Class sizes will be capped to ensure a wholesome experience. Intake is on a 'first come, first served basis' and registration will close once class limit has been reached.
To avoid disappointment, BOOK NOW!

Instructor
Taught by Jacqui Lloyd - 3rd Dan Judo Black belt & Jiu-jitsu Instructor
Jacqui has over 30 years experience teaching children and adults of various levels, from the complete beginner to seasoned competitor.
She has been teaching at the renowned London Budokwai since 1999. She reminds us:
"I believe that regardless of age or ability, all the participants of my classes will have the opportunity to achieve a higher level of learning, co-ordination and skill, but that first and foremost all will learn through fun and enjoyment, thus improving self discipline, confidence and personal skills."
FAQ
What if I don't enjoy the classes? Can't I just pay per class?
These classes are designed to commit participants to self defense for an allocated time period, thus maximising exposure and understanding. In order to fully appreciate the concepts shown and taught, a single session is almost never enough.
We have worked hard to negotiate and agree these sessions with a well experienced and renowned instructor and would like to maximise the benefit for all participants.
I have never done any martial arts before and am not physical fit. Can I still do the sessions?
These sessions are designed and will be catered for the complete beginner with no experience or fitness requisites.
Having said that, you must come understanding that you are learning a martial art and prepared to be physical, move and work up a sweat. It's a great way to start getting fit, lose weight and become physically stronger and conditioned.
Can my daughter attend?
Yes, provided she is above 13yrs of age.
Where can I get a Judo Gi Suit?
Typing "Judo Gi Suit" into Google will provide you with many options.
Our suggestion would be to look at -
- Blitz Sports
- Martial Art Shop
- Decathlon
You will need your height (in CM) and we suggest rounding up to the next nearest 10cm size (e.g. if you're 154cm, suggest getting a 160cm).
Commit yourselves and continue to flourish!
