Teen Smart Move

A Practical Self Defence Workshop for Girls Ages 12-17

What’s in Your Toolbox?

The Teen Smart Move workshop is a 4-hour, informative and hands-on self defence course designed to give teens a look at some of the key mental and physical elements that can arise in a potentially nasty situation, and offers them the chance to explore some simple but effective defensive skills to help detect, avoid or escape those situations. We encourage participants to discover and test drive the many tools in their self defence toolbox, including mental readiness, situational awareness, use of body language, verbal diffusion and physical defence strategies.

Work With What You’ve Got

We keep it simple. Like our regular Smart Move course for women 18 and over, there are no fancy techniques in the Teen Smart Move workshop, just basic low kicks, strikes and ground escapes to help you get out and get safe. No physical fitness, flexibility or skill level is required to take this short course in self defence essentials. You work with what you’ve got. In this 4-hour course, we deal with issues and scenarios that are of concern to teens, and present options and ideas for dealing with difficult or threatening situations. As with all of the programs offered through Sisu Women’s Self defence, the Smart Move women-only workshop is created for women by a woman, and is taught by a female instructor. Teen Smart Move has received great reviews from public and private schools in the Halifax Region and many teens from grades 7-12 who have taken this 4-hour program.
