Today was our first day of our self defense workshops. The two men showing us the techniques were really nice and knew exactly what they were talking about ( I don't know their names, oops). At first one of them went through what we would be learning and then we moved on to how to stay out of a fight and avoid it if possible by having a calm voice and a non threatening posture, we then moved on to some basic defense and he showed us a video of how to expect an attack. At first I didn't really like the class but then when we got stuck into it I really started to enjoy it. I think what I have learned today will be very useful in the future, not that I plan on getting into lots of fights or anything.
Rebecca, Bronwyn and me
Learning how to throw punches with palm of hand, side of fist and elbows without the other person expecting it. Works even if your not the stronger person in the fight.
Bronwyn practicing kicking with Rebecca
Trying to get up really quick to protect yourself in a fight because you are more vunerable on the ground.
Kicking away an attacker if you can't get up in time.
