THE WORKSHOP

Section 1: Introduction

Self-defence begins with awareness and avoidance. In comparison to martial arts where the primarily focus is on defeating an opponent under a set of rules and etiquette, your main objective in self-defence terms is to get away quickly and safely. 

At the end of the day, there are no guarantees, but learning the basics of personal safety and self-defence are always worthwhile!
