Why Every Woman Should Learn Self-Defense
Women’s self-defense is more than just learning how to fight back—it’s about awareness, confidence, and personal safety. On March 9, we hosted a Women-Only Self-Defense Workshop at OKICK Boxing Studio in Richmond, BC, empowering participants with essential self-defense techniques.
Key Self-Defense Techniques Every Woman Should Know
Led by Michelle, a martial artist with 10+ years of MMA experience in Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, Aikido, Muay Thai, and Dutch Kickboxing, and 5+ years working in Corrections with male offenders, this workshop covered several crucial self-defense techniques:
🔹 Escaping Wrist Grabs – Breaking free from common attack holds.
🔹 Effective Striking – How to deliver strong punches, kicks, and elbow strikes.
🔹 Defending Against Rear Attacks – Techniques to protect yourself if grabbed from behind.
🔹 Close-Range Defense – What to do when an attacker is too close for comfort.
🔹 Using Everyday Objects for Protection – How to turn common items into self-defense tools.
These practical skills are easy to learn, remember, and apply in real-life situations, making them essential for women of all ages.
Empowering Women Through Self-Defense
More than just physical techniques, this workshop focused on:
✔ Situational Awareness – Recognizing and avoiding danger before it escalates.
✔ Confidence Building – Learning to stand firm and use your voice assertively.
✔ Supportive Community – Encouraging a strong network of women to lift each other up.
The energy in the room was inspiring, and participants walked away feeling stronger, safer, and more prepared for any situation.
