The London Center for Personal Safety is working in partnership with the London Feminist Network to offer young women members the unique opportunity to learn self-defence skills. The London Center for Personal Safety (LCPS) is committed to making self-defence training accessible to all women, and this training is FREE to all participants. Courses will start in January 2010.

The program is funded by the City Bridge, and is open to self defining women 14- 21 years old. The training will provide an opportunity to learn and practice prevention, boundary setting, and physical self-defence skills in simulated scenarios with a padded attacker. Participants learn how to handle situations young women are likely to face. This training is adaptable to a wide range of fitness levels. You need not be in top physical shape to take the training – most people are not. The training is delivered over a day-intensive module.

Places will be allocated on a ‘first come first served’ basis. To reserve a place on upcoming training and for information about the training, contact: lcps@lcps.demon.co.uk

Please state whether your preference is for weekday or weekend training. If you are receiving this communication, but are not eligible to participate, please make this information available to any young woman living in London you think could benefit from the training.
