Events, courses, and programmes

Get involved in our one-off events and try something different. We also offer a range of one-day courses, multi-day programmes, and workshops.

Women's self-defence workshops

University Recreation Wellington holds regular self-defence courses. These are open and free to all self-identifying women and non-binary people.

Gain more confidence in your everyday life—learn ways to be strong and safe in a variety of situations. These courses teach you hits, kicks, holds, and escape techniques, as well as providing tips to help keep you safe.
