GB Apperley Bridge Self Defence Seminar Ahead of Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Taking place every October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) aims to bring an end to domestic violence, uniting advocates, loved ones, supporters, and political leaders to unite and listen to survivors.

In an effort to build confidence for women of all ages across Apperley Bridge, Calverley, Yeadon, Rawdon and beyond, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy Gracie Barra Apperley Bridge is running a free women’s self defence seminar at their purpose built facility on the 21st of September.

The seminar, taking place at Albion Mills, will walk attendees through simple yet highly effective self defence techniques. Distance management and common scenarios will be covered by professional black belt instructor and police officer Khalil Bostan, followed by a Q and A session for all attendees. No experience of Jiu Jitsu or background level of fitness is required, maximising inclusivity for women in the local area.

Head Instructor of Gracie Barra Apperley Bridge, Khalil Bostan said “It’s a privilege to support women in the local area who, regardless of their circumstances, may feel they’d benefit from knowledge of self defence. As a police officer, I see the benefit of effective self defence every day, and we’ll be covering key positions and scenarios throughout the session. If you’re a woman who would like to build confidence, meet new people or even pursue further training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, this seminar is open to you!”

Opening it’s doors this year at a brand new, purpose built facility at Albion Mills, Gracie Barra Apperley Bridge offers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for ages 3 to 60+. Register for the free women’s self defence seminar here.
