Young professionals to learn self-defence at upcoming workshop

Future Faces will be holding a Self-Defence workshop in partnership with Soteria Self-Defence.

Soteria Self-Defence are a modern self-defence company tackling safety concerns that effect everyday mental health and wellbeing.

Through their work with world class martial artists and UFC champions they have developed their own unique and revolutionary self-defence systems that are simple yet realistic and are guaranteed to be effective for everyone regardless of physical ability.

Attendees can expect to leave the event feeling safe, empowered and confident along with an arsenal of manoeuvres you won’t learn anywhere else.

Ellie Dalton (pictured), head of Client Engagement at Soteria Self-Defence, said: “Mixed Martial Arts changed my life in so many ways, physically, mentally and emotionally, addressing root safety concerns in a way that allows me to be who I want to be in the world. I am more calm, confident and healthy overall.”

The workshop will be hosted by Future Faces patron Arup on Tuesday, 8 October.

Santina Bunting, apprentice in Civil & Ground Engineering at Arup, said: “As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting early career development, Arup is excited to host a self-defence workshop at its Birmingham office, in partnership with the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce's Future Faces network.

“As a Future Faces member myself, I have loved the opportunity to help facilitate this event, as it will provide a valuable opportunity for young professionals across the city to enhance their personal safety skills, while also highlighting Arup’s dedication to investing in initiatives that benefit the local community.

“Arup’s corporate membership with the Chamber of Commerce underscores its support for organizations that foster growth and development for young talent.”
