Empowerment: The Relationship between Women and Martial Arts
Until relatively recently in human history, women were given a typically subordinate role in human culture. Even today, women face many struggles including lower pay rates and violent crime. There is still yet a need to empower women, and martial arts can go a long way toward it.
On the obvious level, martial arts provide a means of self defense against violent crime. Women are possibly the most common victims of violence, be it domestic abuse, mugging or rape. It stands to reason that this would happen, since most women aren’t as physically powerful as most men. Martial arts training can provide a more level playing field.
Besides physical empowerment, training in martial arts also provides mental and spiritual empowerment for women. While it’s true that many men are still programmed with the old patriarchal way of thinking, many women are as well. This may be suitable for some women, but others may want to break out of that mold.
The mental discipline and physical fitness that often goes along with martial arts training is known to increase overall confidence. This applies to men, children and women. There are few things more empowering than knowing that you can hold your own against anyone else, no matter how much smaller you are.
Of course, there is the sheer sport of martial arts, as well. Some women are attracted to athletic activities, and martial arts is a popular sport for women. There are women specific leagues and federations, as well as Internet forums. If you’re truly hard core, there are also mixed groups so you can match your skills toe to toe with men.
Overall, martial arts is a great way for women to empower themselves. For many, the “damsel in distress” should be a thing of the past, and many women today would do well to be in martial arts.

Muslim Chinese Martial Arts $86.03 Muslim Chinese martial arts have a long history in China, and many Muslims have participated at the highest level of Chinese martial arts. However, the Qing Dynasty persecutions greatly stimulated the practise of martial arts among Chinese Muslims. The Hui started and adapted many of the styles of wushu such as Bajiquan, Piguaquan, Liu He Quan, and other styles.

These traditional Chinese martial arts were very distinct from the Turkic styles practised in Xinjiang.
