Self Defense Workshop for Women & Teen Girls

Learn basic skills for avoiding trouble and protecting yourself. The workshop will start with a discussion on safety to help you avoid trouble. That will be followed with a lesson on escape techniques for unavoidable situations. Finally, self-defense techniques will be covered for fighting back when you aren't able to escape easily.

During the Lunar New Year, Jing Ying Institute offers this self-defense workshop at a low cost ($5/person) as a service to the local community. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to a local shelter for female victims of domestic violence and their children. We will also accept on their behalf donations of disposable diapers and non-perishable food items.

Here's what one mom had to say:

"My teenage daughter attended one of your self-defense workshops for women, and I believe it helped prevent her abduction. Two men tried to drag her into a truck, and she was able to escape using your techniques."
