Women Empowerment
Our mission is to empower women with the mental and physical means of defeating their attacker, to develop a warrior spirit of confidence and preparedness, increasing freedom and peace—of—mind. What is a warrior spirit? A firm belief in one’s ability to win!
What does “empowered” mean? One definition is “equipped.” Saying you are “empowered” to defend yourself is the same as saying you are “equipped” to defend yourself, equipped with the mental and physical means to defeat your opponents. When all is said and done, every precaution to insure safety is taken and the assault still happens, you only have two means of survival, your individual ability to defeat your attacker, or your ability to get help from others to do so. Below are stories of empowerment and tips on empowering yourself.
