The Saturday Scouts had requested a session about self defence in their Patrol forum in September, so we had a local martial art expert Ayyub come in. He discussed with the Scouts how to say safe, avoid confrontation, and – only if still absolutely necessary- defend yourself! Scouts enjoyed learning the importance of keeping fit and training in a martial art, stance, how to get out of a headlock and wrist locks, and we tackled a discussion on knife crime.
Many thanks to Ayyub for spending time with us. We always love having special sessions like this so if you have a hobby or idea you think would benefit our young people, get in touch in the comments below!
