Group Self Defence Workshops
Nicholas Polo leads or co-leads group self-defence workshops for adult women across Central London. These workshops are designed to build confidence and teach practical techniques for personal safety in a safe, supportive environment.
Sessions include fundamental self-defence techniques for both standing and ground positions. Key areas covered include:
Upper and lower body strikes
Blocks and counters
Escapes from chokes and headlocks
Hair-pull defences
Takedowns and mount escapes
Workshops also touch on important aspects such as situational awareness, de-escalation strategies, roleplay, and defensive decision-making. Participants practice techniques with one another and also have the opportunity to work with Nicholas and his male instructor partner. This provides a realistic understanding of how to respond both physically and psychologically in the event of a confrontation.
Awareness
De-escalations
Defences
Counterattacks
“I design my workshops to cover key areas such as situational awareness, de-escalation, response speed, and explosive techniques,” says Nicholas. “Participants also get hands-on experience with fundamental striking moves like punches, kicks, elbow and knee strikes.”
Watch Nicholas in action leading a women’s self-defence workshop, demonstrating real-life defence and counterattack techniques.
