Self defence is what we do to make our lives
safer on a daily basis, consisting of a variety of strategies
which can be applied to situations in which we feel intimidated
or threatened. Attitude, Voice, Fist (AVF) are a group of self
defence trainers based in Brighton, UK. We have developed our
skills working mostly with women and girls, from the principle
that no one has to accept unwanted violations of their boundaries.
We teach a range of physical and
non-physical techniques from this premise. They include personal
safety awareness, assertiveness skills, shouting, body language
and simple, effective fighting skills. We encourage participants
to find and explore their own strengths and resources. The classes
aim to increase women’s
confidence and decrease their fear of attack, whilst giving them
more choices in dealing with dangerous or intimidating situations.
