Self-Defense Sessions Launch in Andover to Help Locals Feel Safer and Stronger

A new initiative from Warrior Collective CIC is helping people in Andover and beyond to feel stronger, safer, and more confident through inclusive, affordable self-defense and wellbeing workshops.

Founded by strength coach, nutritionist, and mum Charlotte, Warrior Collective CIC is on a mission to break down the barriers that prevent people—particularly women and vulnerable individuals—from accessing vital physical activity, personal safety, and wellbeing education.

Charlotte’s journey is as inspiring as the organisation she leads. A survivor of domestic violence with over 15 years of experience in the sport and wellbeing industry, she’s turning personal adversity into a powerful platform for change.

“I know firsthand how important confidence, resilience, and self-protection are—not just physically, but mentally too,” says Charlotte. “Warrior Collective CIC was born out of a desire to make strength and safety accessible to everyone, regardless of their background, income, or experience.”

What Warrior Collective Offers

At the heart of the Warrior Collective is a belief that everyone deserves to feel strong, capable, and in control of their own wellbeing. Their offerings include:

  • Physical Activity Programs: Designed to build strength, confidence, and overall health.
  • Self-Defense & Personal Safety Workshops: Practical, empowering training tailored especially for women and vulnerable groups.
  • Wellbeing & Lifestyle Education: Expert-led sessions that guide participants toward sustainable, healthy living.
  • Community Support: Creating a welcoming, inclusive space for all to build long-term habits and connect with others.

Upcoming Self-Defense & Personal Safety Workshops

Warrior Collective is hosting a series of pay-what-you-can self-defense workshops at Andover Leisure Centre. These 2-hour sessions are open to all abilities, ages 14+, and aim to teach not just the techniques but also the mindset to protect yourself confidently in any situation.

📅 Sunday 13th April – 11:30 AM (Open to All)
📅 Saturday 10th May – 2:00 PM (Open to All)
📅 Sunday 29th June – 2:00 PM (Ladies & Girls Only)

Each session creates a safe, encouraging environment where participants learn practical skills and build self-belief.
