Self-Defence

The Strategy Games

Date: Monday 19 June Time: 2:00pm - 4:00pm

Date: Monday 19 June Time: 10:00am - 1:00pm

This is your opportunity to get trained in the art of self-defence by the experts. Defence Lab is a no nonsense, reality based self-defence system that has featured in such blockbuster movies as Batman Begins and The Dark Knight with Christian Bale, and Mission Impossible 3 and Jack Reacher with Tom Cruise. The training is not just physical, but mental and psychological too. You will not only have a lot of fun, with a lot of action, but you will also walk away feeling more confident and empowered.

Strategy games aren’t just for Christmas! From Whist, Blackjack and Rummy to a variety of board games designed to test your skills and cunning, this session aims to teach you the basics of these iconic games and then build your skills, develop your tactics and master the strategies!
