Derwent Self Defence Club

Some of the club will be travelling up to Glasgow to take part in this endurance challenge. Exciting times!
If you are able to donate, we'd be very grateful

Autumn is just around the corner and we’re kicking off our 2026 charity fundraiser - BMAC’s Fall Brawl is coming!

On Saturday 24 October, we’re going to take on a huge endurance challenge: 9 hours of continuous training in the Hub at Bearsden Cross.

This year we’re supporting Beatson Cancer Charity, chosen in memory of a member’s dad who passed away last year after a brave battle with cancer.

Every year, around 35,000 people in Scotland are diagnosed with cancer, and Beatson Cancer Charity is there to make sure no one faces that diagnosis alone.

Our JustGiving page is now live, and we’d love your support. Please donate and help us to spread the word by sharing the link.

This is BMAC’s fourth charity challenge and with your support, let’s make our Fall Brawl the biggest and most meaningful yet. 💛💜

It's the last Thursday of the month so can only mean one thing... its kata night!

Kata, also known as patterns or forms can look a bit flouncy but they're a great way to build muscle memory and effective stance and posture so if you ever need it, it's there in your muscles ready to go.

Also gets the brain cells working!

Waaay back in January we held a course and grading but unfortunately, due to injury, Christine couldn't complete the entire grading. Last night she finished the job and achieved her yellow belt. We are so proud of her and her determination plus a fabulous hip throw! Well done Christine!

Congratulations Rachel from all of us at DSDC 👊
