The HAITO Karate Community Club has officially launched its first free women’s self-defence classes in Peterborough – and the response has been nothing short of inspiring.
🔥💪 On opening night, 11 women stepped onto the mats with courage, energy, and determination. The dojo was alive with laughter, strength, and the shared goal of learning practical self-defence skills in a safe, supportive space.
These sessions are part of our community initiative, proudly run by the HAITO Karate Community Club (our not-for-profit arm), with classes hosted at the HAITO Karate dojo in Woodston, Peterborough.
This isn’t just about techniques – it’s about building resilience, confidence, and connection among women across our community.
Why Join Our Self-Defence Classes?
At HAITO Karate Community Club, we believe every woman deserves to feel strong, confident, and safe. Our sessions are designed to teach practical skills that can be used in real-life situations while creating a welcoming environment where women can train, connect, and grow together.
