The MKF Women’s Self Defence Programme not only empowers women with core life-saving skills but also the real power to defend themselves should they become the victim of an unprovoked attack. Learn how to behave, react and survive.
It’s a sad fact but official figures show approximately 85,000 women are raped in England and Wales every year, thats 11 rapes every hour.
The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) estimated that 20 per cent of women have experienced some type of sexual assault since the age of 16, equivalent to 3.4 million female victims.
The police in England and Wales receive over 4000 phone calls per week from women subjected to some sort of sexual assault or threat.
Only 15% of women who experience sexual violence choose to report to the police
90% of women know the perpetrator before the offence occurs
The MKF Women’s Self Defence Programme will empower you with the ability to deal with this rising issue through effective and highly enjoyable, professional coaching from our qualified female instructors in a class for women only. The programme is designed for all women irrespective of age or current physical condition. No previous experience required. This is an environment where you will become empowered both physically and mentally.

Meet your Women’s Self-Defence Instructor
‘FOR WOMEN BY WOMEN’
Angela Gallagher started her self defence journey 16 years ago, has a BTEC Level 3 in advanced self defence instruction with NFPS (National federation for personal safety) and has helped teach women’s self defence classes for some of the largest corporations in the U.K.
Angie is also trained in weapons, including but not limited to police and army-issue firearms. (FBI qualification shoot – 90% distinguished pass | Army officers service pistol – PASS)
Meridian Kung Fu was introduced to Angie by her husband over five years ago and she thought Wing Chun was the perfect art given that it was adapted by a woman and doesn’t require strength but technique which is perfect for her small stature.
Angie also joined our Meridian Kung Fu coaching programme over three years ago and continues to enjoy teaching children the art and will be opening her own branch soon. She is also currently training under the Meridian black belt elite programme where she continues to learn weapons such as the wooden pole, butterfly knives and street combat. Angie’s Moto, ‘if I can do it, anyone can’.
Our women’s self-defence beginners courses run over four weekly sessions. You will need to sign up from the first date of each course to get the most out of it. You can simply participate in the four-week course to learn some basic self-defence techniques, or you may decide to become a Meridian Kung Fu member and attend term time women-only sessions, or regular adult sessions (that run during term time and school holidays).
