SELF-DEFENCE STORIES
Over the years we have heard an amazing variety of stories from women and girls who have defended themselves or someone else from assault or harassment. Some of these stories took place after the defenders had taken Wen-Do or martial arts, but a majority of the women and girls in these stories had had no prior self-defence training – they were simply creative, resourceful, and determined to protect themselves.
We have collected some of these stories into a Self-Defence Stories blog, which you can enter by clicking on the link below. Please note that by entering the blog, you will be leaving the Wen-Do website; you may wish to bookmark our site before you go.
