Family Self-Protection workshop

Organised by: SOS Combatives CIC

Date From: 17 May, 2026

Date To: 17 May, 2026

From: 10:00 am

To: 2:00 pm

Price: £50 - £85

Location: Ultimate Fitness Opposite Palace theatre

In this workshop, you and your child will learn:

• How to recognise danger early

• How to avoid and escape threatening situations

• How to stay calm under pressure

• How to protect each other if escape isn’t immediately possible

• How criminals actually select victims — and how to avoid being one

This is not a martial arts class and not a fitness session. No previous experience is required. All activities are carefully controlled, non-competitive, and delivered with wellbeing, inclusion, and enjoyment at the forefront.

Supporting Home-Start Essex

All proceeds from this event support Home-Start Essex, a local charity helping families through challenging times by providing practical and emotional support.

By attending, you are helping your own family become safer and more confident — while supporting other families in your community who need it most.

All children must attend with their own parent, guardian, or responsible adult.
