Whether you're a beginner or an experienced individual, DefensEQ Gym provides high-quality content tailored to different skill levels and situations to ensure that self-defense education is within reach for all who seek it.

Did you know that over 60% of people feel unprepared to handle a physical threat? This statistic underscores the significant gap between our personal readiness — the intelligence and ability to make the right choices — and physical readiness — the ability to put those choices into action. This gap stems from social values that downplay the importance of practical life skills. In our society, there is a heavy focus on IQ (Intelligence Quotient), with numerous academic tutoring resources available to help people improve their academic intelligence. However, developing one's EQ is just as important, if not more so, especially when it comes to handling stressful or dangerous situations. Emotional intelligence involves understanding and managing one's emotions, and self-defense training is a powerful way to enhance these skills. Learning self-defense equips individuals with confidence, mental strength, and resilience – essential traits for navigating life's challenges – which in turn, helps in building character and fostering a sense of safety against potential threats. 

However, resources for developing these skills are not as widespread or accessible as academic resources, and self-defense training is often unaffordable for many. This lack of accessibility creates significant social issues, particularly for vulnerable populations who are more likely to face physical threats. The growing youth in these communities may find troubles at an early age and resort to violence to deal with them. DefensEQ aims to achieve this mission by promoting the development of both physical defense techniques and emotional intelligence, ensuring that everyone has the knowledge and tools they need to protect themselves.

Goals

At DefensEQ, my mission is to create safer communities, which ultimately will lay the foundation for a safer society.

  1. Reach 5000 students in self-defense gadget donations

  2. Create a culture of self-defense training and violence awareness throughout Georgia.

To achieve these goals, I plan to initiate several key projects.

  1. Open in-person workshops at orphanages and homeless shelters and online workshops for the youth.

  2. Launch a fundraiser where half of the funds are used to donate self defense gadget kits to college students in dangerous areas of the U.S and the remaining funds are used to hire experienced instructors to create additional self defense videos.

Through these efforts, we hope to make a significant impact not only by enhancing personal safety but also by building a community that values and practices self-defense regularly. By providing accessible and high-quality resources, DefensEQ strives to empower individuals and contribute to a safer, more resilient society.

Mission

My mission is to raise awareness for youth violence prevention and provide accessible self-defense tutorials to equip the youth with the knowledge and tools they need to protect themselves.

"DefensEQ" stands for the critical role that emotional intelligence (EQ) plays in personal safety and self-defense. In our society, there is a heavy focus on IQ (Intelligence Quotient), with numerous academic tutoring resources available to help people improve their academic intelligence. However, developing one's EQ is just as important, if not more so, especially when it comes to handling stressful or dangerous situations. Emotional intelligence involves understanding and managing one's emotions, and self-defense training is a powerful way to enhance these skills. Through learning self-defense, individuals gain confidence, mental strength, and resilience, which are essential traits for navigating life's challenges. It builds character and allows individuals to feel safe when faced with potential threats. Recognizing the vital importance of these skills, DefensEQ encapsulates this mission by promoting the development of both physical defense techniques and emotional intelligence, ensuring that everyone has the knowledge and tools they need to protect themselves.
