ONE Championship collaborated with SheFights.my (a community that aims to empower women and children through self-defence), and held the “She Fights — A Self-Defense Education for Women Workshop 2018” yesterday at Merican Muay Thai, Solaris Mont Kiara.
The open workout demonstrated a self-defence system created for ladies dubbed the “She Fights Technique”, teaching women on how best to respond to harassment whether it is sexual in nature or domestic violence and other types of violence.

SheFights also included education about laws on self-defence in Malaysia, empowering women with knowledge on post-harassment measures for victims including how to locate counselling and shelter for abused women.
