„NO!”
What a simple word! Yet so often disrespected by others and so difficult for us to say.

✋How many times did we rather say yes not to hurt others? How many times did we let others to cross our boundaries because we were too shy to say “no”? We usually care of others’ feelings more than of ourselves.

✋We were raised (especially women) like this. We were raised to be good, to be nice, to be polite, to say yes, to be obedient. To put others first.

✋But you know what? You are not responsible for feelings of others. If you don’t like something, say “no”. If you don’t want something, say “no”. Protect your boundaries, protect yourself.

Saying “no” is self-defence.

Self-defence is not only about hitting an aggressor, to push a bully away or to use a pepper spray.

Self-defence is saying:
✅ “I don’t like when you say this.”
✅ “This is not funny.”
✅ “This question is inappropriate.”
✅ “Do not comment on my body/clothes/hair/hijab.”
✅ “Do not touch me.”
✅ “Do not touch me like this.”
✅ “It is none of your business.”
✅ „No!”

Self-defence is also:
❇️ to give a bad/burnt/too salty meal back to a waiter
❇️ not to enter an elevator when you dont like the person inside
❇️ to cross the street to avoid a group of people or an individual that make you feel weird
❇️ to suddenly enter a shop/restaurant when you feel that somebody in the street is following you
❇️ listening to your intuition, listening to that weird feeling which is telling you to be careful.

Protecting your personal boundaries means defending yourself. 💪

This is a basic stance.

❓What is it for?
❓Why are my palms open?
❓Isn’t it better to punch an aggressor?
❓What am I saying by this stance?

During the two hours course for women I will answer all these questions and many more.

Come and learn how to stand up for yourself and how to not let others to cross your boundaries!

What is unique about the Modern Self-defence?

- it teaches not only physical self-defence but focuses a lot on a verbal self-defence. Verbal self-defence is an important tool which can prevent physical attack.

- attack is not only a physical harm. Attack has many phases before it reaches physical violence so we teach how to thwart the attack in its phases and also how not to be an easy target.

- we teach through experience and even after two hours course you will be able to use the tools that you have learnt.

- the concept of Modern Self-defence focuses also on sexual harassment, on defending our boundaries, on how to say no without feeling guilty.

- Modern Self-defence is for everyone regardless physical condition!

Catcalling is present everywhere. But it is not a compliment. It is a form of sexual harassment.
Have you ever experienced catcalling?

“Can you give me your number?”
“I will sit next to you, ok?”
“Do you want to go out with me?”
“Do you like this?”
etc…

Any other reaction except explicit ”yes” means no. Even silence or cry means no. It is so simple yet so many people fail in understanding the meaning of “no”. By respecting people’s “no” you avoid many problems and hurting others.

“No” doesn’t need any further explanation.
“No” is a complete sentence.
“No” means no.

🔹Sexual harassment is not a matter of women's clothing. It is an act of superiority and predominance.

🔹By saying that if a woman hadn't been wearing this and that, she wouldn't have been attacked, we are blaming the victim. Such reasoning is unacceptable.

🔹Attack is always aggressor's fault.
