"I am excited to partner with GurlFytrz to help further a cause that I have been passionate about for years. It is critical that women and children are aware and learn how to respond correctly to the potential dangers that lurk inside and outside of their homes", Grandmaster Lockhart states.

Post a CommentI actually went to this tournament. It was really great. I even got the literature they offered about domestic violence so I can pass it on to others.
I agree with you completely,if people would let others help the way they want to help a lot of rapes and abuse could have been prevented, here we have many martial artists teaming up to help and they should be getting national attention instead of all the other hoopla that goes on in the news.
I feel this is a great endorsement for the women that are stuck in a situation and in need of help.I know first hand about domestic violence and seen many people I love go through this. I wonder if somthing like this could have been presented to those that needed it before there outcome became different which in turn changed there entire life.
I think this is really awesome! I just wish more people would do something like this and help others. I hope that everybody who reads this "passes" it on and people can support them!
