Why Women's Self Defense?

The history of my life has been surrounded by the strength of amazing women. Roll models who could teach men what true strength was.

It was through these women in which I learned the true meaning of the word "strength."

This definition came not from their ability to fight physically some foe or save the day against some oppressive brute, or even lift heavy objects, but rather through their holding their heads held high through times of adversity and pain.

So many of us view self defense as learning to punch, kick or break free from a choke hold or wrist grab... I think, rather, that self defense is what the women in my life have taught me it is... to hold your ground and not back down from who you truly are.

Being yourself in life is the most demanding path we ever choose. It is filled with routes of escape toward easier rolls and lies which often lead to confusion and self loss of worth.

The true strength of self defense lies not in your punch, but in the will and fortitude of who you are that powers that punch forward!

Not a Victim...Not Today!
