Women’s buhurt starts here.
No armour. No combat-sport background. No need to wait until you feel “ready.”
Valkyries gives women a structured way into the sport of buhurt at Tyr’s Warriors in Toowoomba. You will learn the movement, weapon control, conditioning and teamwork that underpin full-contact armoured combat.
