Thank you for taking the time to read this.
About a year ago, a parent came to me concerned about the high incidence of assault against young women on college campuses. Since then, I have come across many articles and discussions related to this same concern. It is now clear to me that many, if not most, parents are afraid as their daughters leave home to embark on a new chapter in their lives.
But I wasn’t really shaken up until I began to see statistics claiming that up to 1 in 5 girls are sexually assaulted during their college years. This was when I finally became inspired to do something.
The problem I had was that traditional self-defense (short term) programs didn’t resonate with me. They are good for sure…but more like a bandaid. If I was going to make a difference, I wanted to try and make our girls immune to an attacker in the first place.
So I spent a lot of time pondering what martial arts has given me, and how it has made me a strong person both inside and out. I was always physically strong as a kid, but physical strength wasn’t enough to keep me from making poor choices, leading to dangerous situations. I always wondered why I did that. After 23 years of martial arts training, I have come to understand why I made the choices I did.
Now I want to help our girls and young women become stronger than I was.
I have taken my knowledge and life experiences and used them to develop a program based on my philosophy. I believe there are 3 types of strength. Build these three TOGETHER, and it will lead to the true confidence necessary to be safe. The true confidence necessary for our DAUGHTERS to be safe. I am excited to finally be launching this program.
I have two important events happening in June. Please help me pass on the word by taking part in, and/or sharing, this information with those you know who have teenaged daughters.
Friday, JUNE 5TH (hopefully…I will confirm this date) - The pre-launch of my Amazon e-book FIND YOUR STRENGTH: The Essential Self-Defense Handbook For Every College Woman - I will be listing it at only $.99 for the first month, the lowest price possible. It would be the best birthday present ever if you would purchase it ON LAUNCH DAY. My goal is to become a #1 best-seller in categories relating to self-defense and teen safety. But you have to purchase it ON LAUNCH DAY! I will send a reminder and a link via email and post it on FB. All you will have to do is click on the link.
Saturday, JUNE 13TH & JUNE 27TH - FIND YOUR STRENGTH 3-HR Intensive Workshops - These workshops will follow up the book pre-launch. I am accepting 20 girls in each of these initial workshops. I will teach them my philosophy and go over 7 lessons to keep them safe, strong and able to defend themselves. They will go away stronger and more empowered….and their insight will help shape the future of the program… and of the book! If you are interested in having your daughter attend a seminar, please email me at masterlee@themartialwaykicks.com.
Thank you so much…I appreciate you all!
