Oom Yung Doe Women's Self Defense is a beginner program teaching safe, effective and fundamental movements that anyone can learn. Participants will learn how to turn everyday objects into weapons for self defense, and how to safely use their body and bring strength and power to their voice to put an offender on the defense.

Practicing these exercises consistently will enhance focus, mental clarity, awareness, and confidence.

Self Defense Techniques will consist of:
How to react against punches, grabs from behind and throat attacks using movements that leverage your strength.

Stretching and strengthening exercises to condition the body
