Question 1

What is #FightLikeAGirl?

Accepted Answer

Fight Like A Girl began as a campaign where Sifu Della was encouraging women and young girls of all backgrounds to feel confident and comfortable to step foot in a room to learn martial arts and self defence.

Question 2

How did it begin?

Accepted Answer

Coming from her experience of being stalked as a young girl and from meeting other women who have had trauma and violence in their life, she realised how daunting it can be to walk into a gym with the pre-conceived idea that it would be mostly a male environment, and although the intention is to encourage women to later integrate with men to learn martial arts. Della wanted to allow a space for women to be taught by her and in an environment they would feel comfortable with at this first stage.
