The City of Port Phillip's Youth Advisory Committee invites you to participate in the second workshop of our sustainable living workshop series.
Join acclaimed instructor Andre Coñate for a self defence workshop with the Self-Defence Hub at the St. Kilda Library.
The Self-Defence Hub believe that every individual is capable of self-protection. Our strength is not necessarily made up of mere physical muscle, but is built upon making a conscious choice to reclaim our sense of power in this world.
The Self Defence Hub aid in empowering participants by teaching solid self defence skills and showing how they can connect to their power within.
The workshop is free for young people aged 12-25 and will take place at the St. Kilda library - spots are limited to get in quick!
