I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION / INJURED / PREGNANT / BREASTFEEDING. CAN I STILL JOIN USD?

What do I need
I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE OF SELF DEFENCE OR MARTIAL ARTS, DOES THAT MATTER?
That is not a problem at all. Marcin has trained many novices over the years and has specifically designed the beginner part of the course with that in mind. Also, most of the techniques are based on instinctive body reactions so they aren't complicated to learn. You can study at your own pace and move onto intermediate and advanced level when you feel comfortable.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?
Urban Self Defence makes training easy as many of our workouts don’t require any equipment. Workouts that do require weights or other equipment can easily be substituted with household items (cans or bottles as weights).
IS THERE AN APP FOR THE PROGRAM?
Yes. Urban Self Defence is available as an iOS app that can be downloaded from the App Store, and an Android app available from the Google Play Store.
