WHO ARE WE?
KCL Self Defence Society teaches mental and physical self-defence abilities open to people of ALL levels and capabilities.
Assault prevention is a skill we think everyone should learn, especially in a big city like London. The society is structured in the following way:
- Weekly training classes with practical tips to defend yourself in any situation regardless of strength level (when walking around the city, going out, when faced with a compromising situation). Our trainer is a professional instructor from Krav Maga Global/London.
- Talks with inspiring guest speakers aim to spark conversations and educate around the topic.
- You will learn how to avoid compromising situations, defend yourself if necessary, and support a friend who has experienced some type of assault.
To access training sessions and monthly talks you will need a membership (standard for all king's students and staff or associate for outside-kings people), covering the entire academic year + either a Class Pass per semester or a pay-as-you-go ticket for each specific week you want to attend.
WHEN and WHERE are our lessons?
Our classes take place EVERY THURSDAY 6-730pm in Activity Room F, on the 8th floor of Bush House (South East Wing), Strand, London WC2R 1AE
