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 18 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.

If you have experienced trauma or want to psychologically process an experience, this is not the right offer for you. However, you may find help in Aarhus at https://oestjylland.offerraadgivning.dk/.

For the record, all training in Aarhus Jiu-Jitsu takes place at your own risk.

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.

Sara first started practicing martial arts in her youth, training Hapkido between 2008-2011. Since moving to Aarhus she has taken up Jiu-Jitsu, starting in 2024, where she has attained the rank of 5th kyu (yellow belt). While she is new to Jiu-Jitsu, she enjoys challenging herself and learning effective and applicable self-defence techniques.

Sara is a soon-to-be master's student in cognitive science at Aarhus University. When training, she is open, curious and dedicated to understanding the interplay between techniques and how they affect the human body, regardless of shape and size.

Peter has been training in self-defence since 2010, first in Aalborg and since 2022 in Aarhus, where he has now achieved the rank of 2nd kyu (blue belt). He has a solid background in traditional jiu-jitsu and is particularly interested in the practical self-defence aspect.

Peter studies physics at Aarhus University, where he will soon begin his master's degree. He approaches training with curiosity, good humour and a focus on continuous development.

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.

- 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.
