Women's Self Defense is a controversial subject mainly taught by male marital arts instructors. When it come to women's self defense there few more qualified to teach than Guro Tanya Sabing Sabing Monroe. She believes that filipino martial arts is a must learn for women. As she recommends never going toe toe toe with a bigger stronger and faster opponent. Instead learn filipino martial arts in order to learn how to correctly use a force multiplier or a knife to defend yourself and escape safely.
Guro Tanya studied Serrada under Master Angel Cabales, Largo Mano under Master Leo Giron, Kali under Master Ben Largusa and many other masters from the past I was very fortunate to have been there when it all began at the first original Filipino Kali academy at the Torrance, Filipino Kali Academy. Then I was the other half of the Lucaylucay Association for 18 years.
