About
Bender Defenders are weekly martial arts sessions hosted at St Margaret's House. They are a queer and trans community empowerment movement that confronts rising hate crime by teaching martial arts and running self-defence classes. Born out of 2019 Queer Night Pride demonstrations, their Muay Thai and karate classes offer queer and trans people an inclusive, community-centred training space. Sessions are trauma-informed and community-led, helping participants connect with their bodies, release anxiety and build confidence and joy.
