Learning how to defend in threatening situations

Over the last few years, emerging data and reports from those on the front lines, have shown that all types of violence against women and girls, has intensified. LWF believes it is important to offer our members the tools to assess situations and manage risks to their safety.

LWF and JP Morgan have invited Jason O’Connor, a leading self-defence expert, to host a session on female safety. Jason has practiced martial arts for more than 30 years and has worked in over 90 schools speaking to students about ‘How to Avoid Trouble’. His advice has now also been launched as a book with over 500 tips for self-defence.  Jason believes that most situations of conflict can be avoided, however, your confidence is enhanced if you know what to do if you are physically attacked.
