The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future.

Women's Self Defence classes

Women will get the opportunity to learn basic striking and self defence skills for free in an all-female, safe environment with a female instructor.

As well as skill development, this program also has a strong focus on enhancing self-confidence, improving fitness and allowing participants to socialise with others in a fun and inclusive environment.

This six-week program will be led by Emily Jans, a highly skilled and experience boxing professional.

All abilities welcome.
