Females Fighting Forward

Our upcoming self defence seminar aims to provide participants with important skills and knowledge in both street awareness and personal protection. Our courses are taught by a team of experienced and qualified female instructors, led by FFF founder Carly Gangell. This course also utilises trained male instructors in our team for demonstrations and participant training when we utilise our full contact body suit.

During our 1.0 seminar, we covered:
🤝 body language.
🤝 deescalating a situation both verbally and physically.
🤝 effective striking.
🤝 how to remove yourself from common attacks (e.g. pinned against a wall, grabbed by the hair, pulled by the wrist, choked from behind).

In our 2.0 seminar, we will cover:
🤝 all of the above in greater detail (so if you didn't attend the first one, no problems!).
🤝 sexual assault component featuring ground defence to 3 floor attacks.
🤝 training exercises utlising our full contact suit.

We understand that parts of this course may be confronting and triggering for some participants but rest assured that our team are here to help you work through this.

This course is beginner friendly and requires a basic level of fitness to participate.
Participants aged under 16 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian participating in the course (minimum age to participate - 12 years old).
This course is for females only.
Spectating is not permitted.

It’s kinda chic isn’t it 👊🏻

A solid class tonight focusing on all things clinch 🤝

We’re real proud of all of our ladies taking on the technical side of Muay Thai and many jumping in for additional sparring & clinching rounds.

Continuing on through clinch week 🤝 see you tonight at 7:30pm!

29 feels bloody good 😆

Big thank you to everyone for the birthday love… I felt very loved amongst the chaos of sessions 🤍

This term, the team has been busy delivering our Term 3 school programs, with each program tailored to the individual objectives and needs of the students.

Each year, we welcome more than 200 Woodcroft College students to the club as part of their PE program. Each class completes two dedicated self-defence lessons and three Muay Thai sessions, giving students the opportunity to develop practical skills, confidence, fitness and discipline.

Today, we also commence a six-week martial arts program with IQRA School, combining self-defence, exposure to different martial arts styles and fitness-based training.

A huge thank you to our incredible team for their ongoing support and assistance — Margie, Darren, Jenna, Shannon and Blake — all working under the programming and guidance of Carly.

We’re proud to be trusted by many schools to deliver these programs 🙏🏽

One generation of fighters backing the next ones 🤝

Duff, Penny and Shaz looking after our girls at Valley Amateur show while I was away in Thailand. Over 50 fights experience between them and many years in the sport. It’s never lost on me how great our female community is at this club - built from the ground up.
