Self-defence classes have reportedly seen a surge in applications after Britain was hit with three terrorist attacks in three months.

 

据报道，英国在三个月内遭受三次恐袭后，防身术课程申请创新高。

 

Many people have expressed interest in the classes to learn how to protect themselves in the event of another attack, according to The Times.

 

One school said it had seen inquiries¹ increase by 10 times following the assault on London Bridge and Borough² Market that killed eight people and left dozens more injured.

 

Another instructor³ said its waiting lists were "backing up" as it struggled to find staff to teach the classes.

 

Combat Academy UK's chief instructor Reece Coker told The Times: "With bombings or shootings, people tend to think that there's nothing much they could do.

 

"But with the style of attack that we saw at London Bridge, killers⁴ roaming the streets with knives, there is a sense, rightly, that there is."
