Anne Pang Self Defence in collaboration with City of Melbourne and LEADAA have produced a series of 25 short videos aboout women safety awareness.
IT’S A LIFESTYLE AND A PARADIGM SHIFT
WHY DO YOU NEED TO LEARN SELF DEFENCE?
Like swimming or driving, self-defence is a life skill that will empower you and enable you to live a more carefree and confident life.
It’s better to know it when you don’t need it than to need it and don’t have it.
In an ideal world, none of us needs to be learning self defence or wearing seat belts, but this is NOT an ideal world and there is a lot of gender-based violence in this world today.
We are all entitled to feel safe and no one should take away our right to be free of violence. But in this flawed world, sometimes violence finds us. As we cannot control others, whether we are young or old, people of any nation, it is our right to be educated and to learn to defend ourselves from threats against us so that we can thrive.
Like learning to swim to survive the swirls and bad currents, we learn self defence to protect ourselves from harm. Like putting on the seat belts when we are driving, we learn how to increase our level of safety in our daily lives.
But taking on the responsibility to learn self defence does not in any way detract or reduce or shift the blame of the violent crime to ourselves, in fact, we are simply taking control of our lives and disrupting this violent culture against women; we are interrupting this long tradition of gender based inequality.
Learning Women self defence is a way for the individual to increase her own level of safety, assertiveness and protect herself and her loves ones.
We are simply equipping ourselves with the skills and mindset to live a freer and more confident life.
You will discover strength, power and creativity that you didn’t know you had, unleash that warrior from within and you will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly and how well you can learn both the mental and physical components.
Empower women and watch them soar, doing things they thought impossible
