Si-Fu Della O’Sullivan is a martial arts expert and a specialist in women’s self-defence and street defence. She has run countless self-defence classes for women, taught children of all ages and learning abilities, and has taught specialist bodyguard classes. She started the ‘Fight Like a Girl’ campaign in 2016, setting up a series of workshops in London to encourage more women to take up self-defence.
What is this book about?
‘Fighting like a girl says I can be powerful in ways that are natural to me; I have access to power too – it may not look the same as your power, but it’s there and I can claim it.’
It should never be a woman’s job to have to protect herself – but choosing to learn about self-defence can be incredibly liberating. Fight Like a Girl is a practical beginner’s guide, in which women’s martial arts expert and survivor Della O’Sullivan draws on her years of experience to give us the tools to protect our bodies and minds. A truly empowering illustrated handbook, it includes:
- easy-to-follow self-defence manoeuvres
- how to spot red flags and protect yourself against alarming behaviour
- how to adopt the mindset of a survivor
It is the book you’ll want to press into every woman’s hands.
