Intro to self defence

Zoë is a self-defence instructor and a martial artist with over 12 years' experience in combat sports. She began teaching self-defence classes after realising how many instructors were ex-police or ex-military, and how that had given them a perspective on violence that didn't match her lived experience. She teaches a more compassionate form of self-defence, tailored to marginalised people, and backed up by research and data. She is also a professional wrestler and enjoys pretending to fight people as much as the real thing!
