Dr Anne Pang (PhD) is an martial artist with over 30 years of experience in teaching women self defence. She is the only female who has ever received the martial arts industry recognised Tribute Award, and in 2022 Anne was recognised by the Australasian Martial Arts Magazine Masters Martial Artists of the Year - Kung Fu.
She started training Kung Fu at the Barry Pang Kung Fu Schools in 1974, in the art of Wing Chun Kung Fu, the only martial arts invented by a woman and also one of the most efficient and effective style of martial arts. Identifying the need to provide women with more tools to promote physical wellbeing for women, Anne developed her own style of women self-defence, incorporating six basic techniques from different styles of martial arts Wing Chun, Choy Lee Fut and Lung Ying, and began teaching the programs at schools, universities and businesses.
She believed that self defence for women cannot simply include physical techniques, but also environmental safety awareness as one of the major component. In addition, the physical techniques must take into account of women's body size compared to men and must be simple for people who do not normally practice martial arts. With all these considerations in mind, her techniques are direct, simple and are suitable for women and children alike.
