Michelle held a women's self defense lesson for my employees in a 1.5 hour class that was amazing! Michelle helped us not only learn so many skills to protect ourselves, she provided a safe setting that was so empowering and effective! The event increased our awareness, decreased our internal fears, and brought us closer together as a team. I would recommend this class to all women!

One-stop shop for meditation, strength, flexibility, mental health, deep breathing, and all those other things they say you should be doing a little bit of every day to maintain your psychological equanimity. Plus you get to swing swords around every once in a while too.

Fun class and highly recommend everybody to learn self defense. You can go for few classes, go a couple of times a month and practice at home. The teacher Michelle is professional and full of knowledge!

I recently took a women's self-defense class with Michelle! I just want to start by saying how grateful I am that they offered this class! The main instructor, Michelle, was AMAZING! Michelle and the staff were so passionate and knowledgeable about women's safety and martial arts. I walked away feeling strong and confident that I could handle myself in many situations, which is a great feeling! I signed up for Michelle's six-week course because she is such a badass and I can't wait to learn more! The facility was clean and comfortable. I will say that the studio is a little hard to find and could benefit from more obvious signage, but I followed Google directions, and I made it. There is parking in the back and a well-lit parking lot/sidewalk! I am so looking forward to doing more with Michelle and her team at Oom Yung Doe!!!

Thank you to Michelle for hosting the self-defense class for women!! It’s important to mention one class is free so she makes her knowledge really accessible, just show up and be ready to kick ass. Super kind knowledgeable and respectful. Highly recommend taking their courses. Let’s support this place and the empowerment they do!
