Sidekick Academy have a self defense program for women called Be-Safe. Nat was telling me there weren’t any activities for women and this is one of the first activities I thought of as a response. It’s indoor and it sounds like something fun and educational. Their lessons are twice a week and are a mixture of striking, Jiu-Jitsu and self defense. They’ve got a newly opened 1000m2 training facility right behind Tilal Complex and their prices are very reasonable. It’s KD45 per month and their lessons are every Sunday and Tuesday Monday and Wednesday from 5 to 6pm. The classes are for women only.
I first found out about Sidekick Academy when they brought UFC legend Royce Gracie to Kuwait for a 3 day seminar. There’s and amazing team behind Sidekick Academy that are trying to do something really great here in Kuwait. Visit their website for more information on all their programs. [Link]

but all these things cost money, what is there to do for free?
what free activities are available in other countries? walk in the park? majority of activities require some sort of expense. If its football u need to buy a ball, if your biking you need to buy a bicycle, if you’re playing tennis u need to buy a racket and rent a court… Even if you’re sitting at home, to watch tv u need to buy a tv, to get online u need to get a computer…
One word, Hapkido. It’s the best suited martial arts style for self defense of this nature.
museums, nature parks, nature reserves, camping, zoos (legit zoos), numerous art shows and exhibits, numerous free concerts, you can do sooo much on a $0 budget.
Museums, camping, art shows and exhibits are available in Kuwait and for free.
Zoos are not free especially the legit zoos.
Free concerts? You could always go watch a high school band play if thats your thing…
Nothing is for free! Everything has a cost associated with it unless its 100% subsidized, usually government subsidized. To run an attraction you need to pay electricity bills, wages, rent, maintenance, where does this money come from. Last time I checked, my grandma was still telling me money doesn’t grow on trees!
Go to the mall, there is something to do for free. And hey almost as good as the zoo, you’ll have access to plenty of wildlife!
Just because you didn’t pay doesn’t mean thant it was free.
its amazing aint it?
The more Liberal/Free we get the more protection (women) need?
>Jool
