Gulshen Bano is the founder and Head Instructor of Strike Back Self Defence for Women.
After experiencing a number of physical assaults and threats to her safety whilst working as a Pharmacist, she set out on a mission to be able to protect herself
and began training in Krav Maga. Soon realizing there was a huge lack of safe spaces for women who didn’t want to learn in mixed classes
or with a male instructor, she became an Instructor herself and proudly opened the only ‘Women’s only’ Krav self defense school in the UK.
Today she teaches workshops for women and girls across the UK and worldwide, working with the Domestic Violence charity Hopefull
Handbags as their global women’s self defence coordinator. She is on a mission to make these vital lifesaving skills virtually accessible
to every female across the world so they can learn how to protect themselves and stay safe.
