Empowering Women Through Practical Self-Defense

KIRKLAND, Wash. - Rezul -- Oom Yung Doe recently held a Women's Self-Defense Seminar at its Kirkland location, giving local women hands-on training in how to recognize, resist, and respond to real-world threats. The seminar focused on effective, easy-to-learn techniques that anyone can use in a high-pressure situation.

Led primarily by female instructors, the training also covered the mental side of self-defense, helping participants understand how to manage adrenaline, stay calm under pressure, and use posture and awareness as their first line of defense.

One participant, a long-time student, shared how she overcame years of trauma from a stalking incident through her training at Oom Yung Doe. The ability to reclaim her sense of control and confidence was life-changing, and her story resonated deeply with the group.

During the seminar, women trained in shock-and-escape strategies like palm strikes, vocal resistance, and breakaway techniques. They practiced hitting pads and heavy bags to get comfortable with impact, and learned how to handle different types of grabs and front-facing attacks. Many participants noted how much stronger and more capable they felt after just one session.
