Can't touch this: Introduction to self defense for women
| Description | Click for a German and an English description.
Learn the legal frame of self defence in Germany/Switzerland, and five easy techniques to avoid sexual harassment and to counter physical attacks, including an optional hands-on-experience. Note: This workshop is of course open to all creatures. It is however not an introduction on how to become Rambo and beat up other people, so please do not expect something like this. It was labeled "for women" as it was usually done by that name for different audiences which were women-focused. On following the instructions closely, it is practically impossible to hurt yourself during the workshop so don't be afraid! |

English Description
See the German version of this text below. When being physically attacked, the best thing to do is to run away. However, there are situations like physical(sexual) harassment or encounters where running is not an option. This talk with a (optional) hands-on-experience shows a few simple techniques for de-escalating these situations and explains the legal frame in which self defence is possible. The participants learn five easy techniques to sharpen their defence and presence in the face of physical encounters.
This workshop is of course open to all creatures. It is however not an introduction on how to become Rambo and beat up other people, so please do not expect something like this. It was labeled "for women" as it was usually done by that name for different audiences which were women-focused. When following the instructions closely, it is basically impossible to hurt yourself when attending the course, but, as I am forced to state this explicitly: The lecturer does not take responsibility for any injuries, neither during nor after the course.
German Description
Wird einem mit Gewalt gedroht oder gar Gewalt angetan, ist es oft das Beste, das Weite zu suchen. Es gibt allerdings Situationen, wie z.B. sexuelle Übergriffe und bewaffnete Konfrontationen in denen weglaufen keine Option ist. Dieser Talk gibt eine kleine praktische Einführung in die rechtskonforme Selbstverteidigung und zeigt fünf einfache Techniken um solche Situationen zu deeskalieren bzw. sich trotz physischer Unterlegenheit zu wehren.
Dieser Workshop ist selbstverständlich offen für alle Lebewesen. Es ist aber keine Einführung in "Wie werde ich ein Kneipenschläger", also bitte erwartet so etwas nicht. Der Zusatz "for women", rührt daher, dass der Vortrag bisher nur vor women-focused Publikum gehalten wurde. Wenn man die Anweisungen befolgt, ist es eigentlich unmöglich, sich dabei zu verletzen, ich sage es aber trotzdem, weil es sein muss: Der Organisator übernimmt keinerlei Verantwortung für Verletzungen und/oder Schäden, die während dem Workshop oder danach im Zusammenhang mit dem gezeigten Techniken entstehen.
