This November, GSU is collaborating with the University of Greenwich, Team Greenwich and Team Medway to support the This Girl Can campaign. We’re raising awareness of the barriers women face when participating in sport and creating more opportunities for women to get involved.

This event is in collaboration with Team Greenwich Taekwondo Club, who are hosting a free session to learn the basics of self defence so that women feel more confident, and prepared to deal with challenging situations.

The session will include a warm up, instruction, demonstrations, pairing up to practice techniques and a cool down. Self defence techniques that will be covered include, collar grabs, takedowns and hair grabs. At the end of the session you should feel more comfortable and confident in these techniques.z
