Do not make girls angry – or self defence opportunities for women

By Rūdolfs Andersons

One of the most interesting sports activities offered for students at the University of Latvia is self – defense for women. Training takes place at the sports centre “Arkādija” in Uzvaras Boulevard 10 on Mondays and Thursdays: http://www.lu.lv/sports/veidi/pasaizsardziba/.

Practices are only for female students and there is no need for previous sports experience at all. Training is focused on development of strength, stamina, fluency, flexibility, concentration and decision making. Women can also learn different self–defense methods which help to protect themselves from danger.

Training are held by coach Brigita Bergmane, who says every women can learn to protect herself, but it is important to learn how to control and use your skills at the right time. If you want to learn to protect yourself, use the opportunity to join the self-defense training or contact Coach Bergmane via e-mail: brigita.bergmane@lu.lv.
