Evolve Studios in Heath Road will be hosting a morning and evening workshop with Dene Josham - former bodyguard to celebrity A-listers.

Gerry Leanne, owner of Evolve Studios said: “I’ve personally invested in bringing Streetwise Defence to Skegness, giving local women the opportunity to learn from someone with an exceptional background in personal security.

“Dene Josham spent 20 years working in close protection, including as a bodyguard to Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Russell Crowe. He now brings that experience to Streetwise Defence, teaching practical personal safety and self-defence skills.

“The workshop will cover recognising potential danger, awareness, setting boundaries, de-escalating situations and simple physical self-defence techniques.

“My aim is to help women feel more confident and better prepared in everyday life.”

There are two sessions, at 10:30am and 6pm, lasting around two hours. Tickets are £30 per person.

Gerry added: “Women are welcome to watch and learn without taking part physically, and you don’t need to be a studio member to attend.”

Bookings are available through www.evolveskegness.co.uk.
