WELCOME TO OUR WOMEN'S SELF-DEFENCE
Experience the empowering benefits of Self-Defence Training
Self-Defence Training and Martial Arts have been shown to help people get fit, strong and become resilient. It has also been shown to improve our mental health and can help with our overall wellbeing.
Self-defence classes can teach us vital skills that can help us come out of potentially dangerous situations safely.
About RISE Self-Defence
Our Mission
Our mission is to make Self-Defence classes easily accessible to those who need it most in our community. We teach girls from the age of 8 years old, to adult women up to any age who have a history of trauma.
We aim to empower our women and girls to have the skills, knowledge, and confidence to identify, avoid, and escape potentially violent situations. We help them discover their power to stand up for themselves and to have the confidence to know how to avoid, de-escalate, and escape a violent situation, all in a safe and empowering environment.
Our Vision
To help girls and women discover the amazing benefits of martial arts and exercise for the mind, body, and spirit. To give them the best chance of escaping potentially violent situations, in group classes where they can be social and have a little fun and sense of community.
We aim to increase participation of women in martial arts schools within the region in a supportive/mentorship program to enable them to transition to a safe and appropriate martial arts school to continue their training.
Increased female participation in martial arts classes will have a flow on effect in the greater community, encouraging future generations of girls and women in an activty that has been predominantly male dominated over the years.
Our Programs
Our female instructor is passionate about teaching context specific self-defence. Programs will help navigate specific issues faced by certain age groups, community, occupation, experience levels, past history of trauma, and/or injuries. We provide a safe and empowering space for women to practice self-defence techniques.
