About Andre Conate andre conate smiling sq

There aren't too many female self defence instructors especially ones that have been teaching for over 25 years. This is why Andre decided to set up a studio specifically for women to learn self defence in a fun and safe environment. 

She knows what it's like to go to male dominated gyms and she saw the discomfort and oftentimes triggering ways traditional self defence instructors would teach so she decided enough was enough.

She establised Self Defence Hub to empower women and girls to help them realise the power they hold within. It's not uncommon for participants to be surprised how effective their strikes can be and that's what motivates Andre to continue teaching.
