All girls deserve to feel safe. Martial arts makes young women feel confident, through mastery over their own bodies. It doesn't matter what style you study; just getting out there and learning how to defend yourself is such a healthy thing to do on an emotional, physical and yes, even spiritual level. The study of martial arts builds not just physical, but emotional resilience, and this is what young women need the most.
 

Martial Arts teaches women the skills to develop healthy emotional and physical boundaries. Studying Martial Arts also challenges the belief that women's bodies are inherently vulnerable to attack and that men's bodies are unstoppable. Learning a martial art is empowering, and can change women's beliefs about what they are capable of, and what they are entitled to.

It is our mission to get this message out to the world! We want all girls, everywhere, to be inspired to take up the challenge - to learn to defend themselves, to feel strong and powerful in their own bodies, and to be confident to say "I deserve better".
The amazing young women in our documentary also deserve better; equal recognition for their achievements and respect for their hard work and commitment. With your support, we can make this a reality.
