Urban Krav Maga
Forget rooftop yoga – try your hand at urban krav maga on the roof of Ace Hotel. The self-defence technique combines aspects of boxing, karate and jiu-jitsu but doesn’t rely on brute strength, so you don’t need guns of steel to give it a go. Ace Hotel. Shoreditch High St Overground. Tue Apr 24.
