New Zealand Women's MINDSET Workshops

This is the 17th year that we've been running our women's workshop for the community in New Zealand. What we teach is how to deal with the worst-case scenario, when the awareness, avoidance and de-escalation have failed, and it all turns physical.

The workshop is rated R13 so only those aged 13 and above can attend due to the content taught. There are a limited amount of spaces available so book early. Please note that this is a two-day workshop.We know that not everyone can manage the full two days due to work, studies or family commitments, so if you wish to attend then we recommend coming along on the Sunday. Ticket purchases cover you for both a single day or two-day attendance. Don't let the price deceive you; we're firm believers that every woman and family deserves the opportunity to participate in workshops like this without having to break the bank. So, what sort of things can you expect to learn at this workshop? You learn the vital parts of the body - parts of the body that are vulnerable &amp; easy to attack. Learn how to block an attack confidently. Learn how to defend yourself against slaps, punches, pushes &amp; grabs. Learn to defend yourself against headlocks, hair grabbing, and wrist grabs. Learn how to defend yourself against chokeholds, and bear hugs. Learn how to defend yourself on the ground. Learn effective rape defence techniques. Learn how to use your hands, legs, knees &amp; elbows as weapons. Learn to defend yourself against many other types of attacks with confidence. Plus, lots, lots more. (depending on the time allowed &amp; the participant's progression) What we teach is how to deal with the worst-case scenario, when the awareness, avoidance and de-escalation have failed, it all turns physical, there's no obvious way to escape &amp; you must fight back.
