Practical information to help women better understand personal safety, awareness, confidence and self-defence for real-world situations.
Women’s Self-Defence Perth focuses on practical skills and ideas that can help women make better decisions before, during and after a potentially unsafe situation.
This resource area brings together information about awareness, personal safety, practical self-defence and choosing appropriate training.
You do not need previous martial arts experience to start learning self-defence. The aim is to develop understanding, confidence and simple skills that make sense in real-world situations.
Self-defence is not only about physical techniques. Awareness can help you recognise changing situations, identify potential risks earlier and make better decisions about where to move, when to leave and when to seek help.
