From Girls to Women: Building a Lifelong Cycle of Empowerment
Empowerment isn’t an isolated moment—it’s a lifelong journey. When girls are equipped with self-defense skills, confidence, and a sense of agency, they grow into empowered women who advocate for safety, equality, and change in their workplaces and communities. Women, in turn, mentor, uplift, and empower the next generation of girls, creating an ongoing cycle where each phase of life builds upon the next.
This discussion will explore how Empowerment Self Defense (ESD), and Martial Arts lay the foundation for personal strength, helping girls transition into women who stand firm in their workplaces and beyond.
What to Expect
• Expert insights on how safety and empowerment intersect across a woman’s lifetime—from childhood to profession
• Real-life success stories on the impact of ESD and martial arts in developing confidence and leadership skills
• Live demonstrations of ESD techniques, showing how they apply at every stage of life, including the workplace
