Unfortunately, there is rarely a long gap between media reports of attempts to exploit or assault women. With this in mind, we have chosen to create a specific team that focuses on women and the special circumstances surrounding everyday situations, domestic conditions and direct assaults that apply to them. For example, clothing, strength and size, which will often create special conditions.

Have you considered whether you are willing or able to defend yourself if you are attacked, whether it is violent or "just" too close?

- Is it worth it to resist?

- When am I allowed to resist?

- Can I do anything at all that will work?

- Where is my limit and how should I mark it?

This course will give you some tools and techniques to deal with a situation where you feel you've been approached, threatened or directly assaulted.

The course is aimed at anyone who needs to feel safer and wants to have a way out of an assault situation.

The course is aimed at women aged 16 years and older.

It can be an advantage to sign up with a friend or other partner. There will be physical contact on the course, and it can be uncomfortable for some to experience it with a complete stranger. This shouldn't stop anyone from signing up, but it's worth thinking about it before the course.

Sign up for the Self Defence for Women course below. Enrolment is only binding after payment of the course fee. You will receive an email with practical information about the course, time, location and payment upon registration.

Enrol now. You can wait to pay for the course until the last registration deadline of 24. January 2025. It's best to get the registrations in quickly so that we can see that the course will take place. Then the payment can follow later.

We will have a maximum of 18 participants in the class. The course will run when there are at least 10 enrollments.

Simon has been practising Jiu-Jitsu, self-defence and martial arts since 1978 and holds 6. Dan (sixth degree black belt). He has primarily trained Jiu-Jitsu throughout the years, but also karate, judo, aikido and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Simon is a style instructor (a kind of national coach) for Ju-Jitsu Denmark, which is the main organisation for Jiu-Jitsu and Ju-Jutsu clubs in Denmark. He teaches at summer camps, coaching courses, weekend training sessions and many other events. Simon has a trainer licence A, highest level, in the Danish Sports Confederation's trainer house and teaches the practical part of the course for new instructors.

Anika has 3. Dan (third degree black belt) in Shotokan Karate and has practised martial arts since 2008. She is a former European Champion in Karate (free-fighting) (2015, 2016, 2017), and has been 3rd at the World Championships (2016).

Anika has primarily practised karate, but has now switched to Jiu-Jitsu, supplemented with Judo and MMA. Anika has been a karate instructor since 2011 and a self-defence instructor since 2019, where she has taught at Rudersdal and Gladsaxe Youth School.

We will work on dealing with typical threats and defences against attacks (e.g. attempted strangulation, rape and beatings). We'll also deal with drunk and overly touchy Uncle Preben at the family party and Kurt boss with the slightly too touchy hands. We also need to work on avoiding or downplaying a situation so that attack and defence can be avoided altogether.

The best results are achieved by practising a few effective techniques. The selected techniques are practised in pairs against selected attacks. There will be techniques against attacks from the front, back, prone and standing. The techniques will be primarily based on gross motor movements, so you can also perform them when you get scared or excited.

The course does not require great strength, agility or fitness. It is designed to be for anyone who feels the need to defend themselves. We warm up at each session, so there will be a little sweat on the forehead.

A view on the law in Denmark ("nødværgeretten") is part of the course. You'll learn when you can defend yourself and what you can and cannot do in a given situation.

Registration is only valid when payment has been received by Aarhus Jiu-Jitsu.

- You have managed to create a space where there is room for everyone, beginners/intermediate and with the idea that everyone should be able to keep up in terms of fitness level.

- Personally, I found the course to be influential, motivating, informative and much more.

- It also gave me a bit of confidence to walk outside in the dark as well as late hours.

- It was really useful and I feel like I learned a lot during the course.
