Self-Defense

In the fall of 2021, my good friend and long-time training partner Kit Yueng and I formed Team Self-Defense to address the rise of anti-Asian hate. Our mission was to provide the community with peace of mind and practical self-defense skills during a challenging time.

We started our program at a senior center in the heart of Manhattan's Chinatown and have since expanded to serve neighborhoods across New York City. Today, we teach people of all demographics, holding classes in areas like Sunset Park, Flushing, and Washington Heights.

Our program is supported by incredible partners, including Apex for Youth, Asian American Federation, Asian Americans For Equality, UA3, Raising Health, Rodney Kirk Center, and Immigration Social Services, among others.
