University Self Defence Workshops

Self Defence & Empowerment Programs For Universities

Fierce Females is a registered charity and non for profit organisation, dedicated to helping women live a life free from violence through self-empowerment and self-defence training.

We are educating women to physically, mentally and emotionally protect themselves from sexual assault, bullying and harassment whilst improving their self-efficacy and self-esteem.

We offer fully customisable, hope-focused, multimodal, person-centred self-defence programs, perfect for your universities requirements, no matter how big or small.

Created by women for women, we know how it feels to be the (sometimes) physically smaller or (sometimes) physically weaker individuals in conflict. So we offer a tailored experience from initial consultation to the finalised implementation of programs and training for your campus. The resulting package will perfectly suit any of your time and budget constraints whilst meeting your expectations.

Teaching Self-Defence For Students and University Faculty

At Fierce Females, we understand that personal safety is a top priority for students and faculty on university campuses. That's why we've developed specialised programs tailored to meet the unique needs of university settings. Our programs are designed to equip staff and students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to navigate their lives safely and confidently.

Universities are dynamic environments where safety concerns can vary widely. Our self-defence programs are meticulously crafted to address the specific challenges that students and faculty may encounter both on and off campus. We provide a safe and inclusive space where all participants can learn and grow together.

Key Features of Our Self-Defence Training

Empowerment Through Knowledge: Our training doesn't just focus on physical techniques. We emphasise understanding situational awareness, recognising potential threats, and the psychology of violence to be able to make informed decisions to stay safe.

Verbal De-Escalation: Communication is a powerful tool. We teach participants how to use their words to defuse situations, assert boundaries, and seek help when needed. enabling participants to embrace and function with fear instead of aspiring to overcome it.

Confidence Building: Our training instils a sense of self-assurance and courage, giving the ability to act on one's ethical beliefs despite potential danger or disapproval.

Practical Techniques: For times when all other conflict resolution strategies fail, our physical self-protection techniques are easily executed by anybody, regardless of age or physical capability. This is because there is always something we can do when we apply physics and a basic understanding of anatomy.

Awareness of Resources: We educate participants about campus security resources, reporting mechanisms, and available support systems.

Well-being: Self-defence isn't just about physical safety; it's about mental and emotional well-being too. We provide strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and personal boundaries by fostering courage, resilience and fearlessness in our training.
