Free self-defence training for women will be available every Tuesday and Thursday in February and March.
The free sessions are funded by the Safer Streets initiative and will take place at Bridgend Life Centre between 6pm and 8pm. The classes are suitable for all women aged 16 and over.
The Safer Streets project is a partnership between Bridgend County Borough Council, the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales and South Wales Police. One of the key aims of the project is to make sure that all women feel as safe as possible.
The sessions will be taken by a self-defence expert and aim to provide guidance and tools to face threats with confidence by offering training in situational awareness, conflict de-escalation and basic self-defence techniques.
It will raise awareness of inappropriate behaviours by others and provide simple tactics to keep yourself, friends, and colleagues safe.
Places are limited so it’s advised that anyone interested reserves a place online.
