WFF APAC Wit & Wisdom in Singapore: Executives Travel Safety Programme

The Women in Fund Finance (WFF) APAC is thrilled to welcome members of the Singapore region for an evening of Self Defence instruction hosted at Ashurst LLP in Singapore.

Thank you to our event sponsors and location host - Ashurst LLP. 

• An introduction to Self Defence by Qin Yunquan the first woman in Asia to be certified as both a counter-terror shooting instructor by the Israeli Tactical School in the US, and earning a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

• Video sharing of real crime attack including the do's and don'ts in each video.

• Physical demonstration of self defence techniques that are women-centric.

Light refreshments and drinks will be provided.

This event is an opportunity to learn safety tactics while traveling abroad. 

Street violence that includes senseless unprovoked assaults, violent robbery with weapons, molestation, attempted rape or kidnapping, can happen when you least expect it and are potentially life threatening. Victims of such aggression need to learn appropriate strategies and tactics to de-escalate, evade or control and restraint their assailant until help comes.  Instead of relying on strength based techniques that are often taught in combative sports (e.g Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Mixed Martial Arts etc), participants learn how to use principles of bio-mechanics and leverage to protect themselves.

It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing for your training participation.
