The saturday that changed everything
You know you have a party coming this weekend. You spend 195 dollars on clothing, shoes and jewellery. Your so happy and excited. The day arrives, you have so much fun. The event is popular and you get acquianted to new people. You`re on your way home. Filled with happiness. That particular saturday when you get of the bus and walk towards your home, it`s late and you are alone. A man asks you for the direction, when he suddenly takes a grip on your shoulder. What do you do?
Spend a fraction of this money
We women are often very eager to spend money on shopping, vacations and restaurants. Ususally spend hours in the mall trying to find the right clothing of our choice. If we would only use a fraction of that amount on our security, we would have had the guts to protect ourselves in case we need to. All we need is to attend self-defence classes regularly.

Motivation to keep myself safe
I started my journey of learning self-defence in 2019. My motivation was to know how to defend myself. Some bad incidents at my previous job, had made me re-think my life. I wanted to be able to actively participate in the society, without fearing for my own safety. It`s gone almost six years now. Good coaches at my gym and being motivated to keep myself safe has made me able to come this far. I am now also teaching selfdefence to children and teenagers.
What started of as a hobby has now also become a lifestyle and a side-hustle Ma sha Allah.
Share your knowledge
In Islam it is a important value to want for others what you want for yourself. When I started at the gym, I often thought about how important it is to make more women aware of self-defence. With the support of my head-coaches I managed to start self-defence classes for women as a leader of sports in the volunteer organisation for women, Sosterlenken in Oslo. Its been an awesome journey. We`ve had upto 11 courses til now. There are muslim women in Norway and many cities around the globe, who also need this. It can`t be emphatized enough how important it is to master self-defence.
If you want to prosper
Rising Islamophobia across europe and the world, are making muslims worried. When we know how to be aware of our surroundings, and paying attention to what is happening around us, we are more likely to prevent bad things to happen to us. Knowing self-defence and practising this make it easier for us to react fast when it is needed. We cant`t lock us in our homes. If we want to prosper and live rich lives, we have to take an education, volunteer at our local organisations, get better jobs and actively participate in the community. To build good communities for ourself and our family. Self-defence is only a tool that can make it easier for us.
