SELF DEFENCE
Self defence is split up into different sections: three step sparring; one step sparring and self defence, which includes defending against grabs, knives, sticks and others. For three step sparring and one step sparring we have a set of basics for the students to learn to enable them to understand the concepts of self defence.
