Other Women's Self-defense Links

compiled by Women Educating in Self-defense Training (W.E.S.T.)

* These links are ones that we have found for other groups of women teaching or involved in self-defense. We encourage you to check out any group thoroughly before becoming involved in any type of training. Word of mouth endorsement from involved women seems to be one of the best recommendations. The women of W.E.S.T. believe that there are many ways that we can defend ourselves, not just one way. We encourage each person to find the way that right for her. *
