All Women Can
All Women Can was born from a wish to see more women training in martial arts, and enjoying the benefits, everywhere, all over the world. It’s a love letter to every girl and every woman who has her black belt or is working towards it.
Studying a martial art helps women develop healthy emotional and physical boundaries, and getting their black belt totally changes the way women feel about themselves.
Over 11 years, we have filmed every style that would let us, and interviewed women and girls, in their own words, asking them to share why they love their martial art, and why they think all women can and should give it a go.
Martial arts are so male dominated that women have to fight to take up space in them. And even when we get there, our own beliefs about our physical limitations create barriers that stop us from moving forward. Fear of getting hurt, fear of being judged, fear of being too old, too slow, all those fears and misconceptions throw up barriers that stop us getting in and overcoming society’s beliefs and expectations about what we can do
It doesn’t matter what style you do, or how you do it. Just start today!
Here’s to having a go. Here’s to the belief all women CAN.
