Self defence sessions
at Fir Vale
In November 2003 we featured an article
on local taekwondo instructor, Cathy Everard,
who has been delivering a variety of martial arts
based sessions in Burngreave. Sessions at Fir
Vale School have been targeting 14–16 year
old female students, allowing them to participate
in martial arts based physical activity.
Around eight girls have been regularly attending
these sessions, learning a variety of skills and
techniques. These sessions have proven so successful
that several of the girls are going to begin work
towards their taekwondo belts as part of a six-week
course supported by the school’s PE department
and the Burngreave Sports Project.
Congratulations to Cathy and the girls on the
commitment that they have shown to this activity
so far!
For any other women and girls over 13 living
in the area who are interested in becoming involved
with self defence and martial arts, Cathy, in
association with the Burngreave sports project,
runs an open session Tuesdays 7–8 at Fir
Vale sports centre (£2 for adults, £1.50
for juniors)
