Women Self Defence
The Women Self Defence project promotes community safety by providing women with the tools to increase safety awareness of their immediate environment and surroundings, and share techniques that women can use to protect themselves.
We developed a safety awareness videos series, so they can be shared on social media to empower more women to learn the techniques and tools.
All the safety tools are developed for women by women, recognising and acknowledging the smaller stature and physique of women.
We empower women with the tools to improve physical wellbeing and safety awareness.

Head Instructor
We know how important it is to have women as instructors for self defence, that is why we partnered with Anne Pang Self Defence on this project. She shares her the defence strategies that have been tested in her 30 years of experience of being a self defence instructor. Anne is the only women who received an Tribute Award, an award recognised by the martial arts industry, for her excellence in martial arts fighting men. After identifying a gap that there is a lack of women self-defence courses that are developed by women, she has developed her own style of self defence that works for shorter women.
Why self defence?
Why do women have to learn self-defence? Anne Pang answers why we need it even though the responsibly of violence always rests with the perpetrator.
