Defend yourself! – An Introductory Workshop in Self-Defense Techniques

In this 3-hour workshop self-defense trainer Katharina Eisenring will give us an introduction to self-defense techniques. We will defend ourselves against physical attacks and learn about simple shock techniques to compensate for the often unequal body proportions of attacker and victim. In addition, we will role-play situations that we encounter in everyday life or that scare us and look for solutions together. After the 3 hours, you will have a clearer picture of what self-defense involves and will be better able to decide whether you want to attend an entire self-defense course. In addition, your decision to stand up for yourself will be strengthened.
