FAQ
WHY MARTIAL ARTS?
Through our own martial arts training, we noticed a shift in everyday things, like how we walk, how we talk, and how we feel overall - with a strong sense of self-esteem and self-respect. Enough to say no when we're uncomfortable. Enough to walk through the streets with our heads held high. And enough to fight back when necessary.
And because we found this through martial arts, we said hey - let's encourage other women to join us, and see where their journey takes them! We've heard from countless women and girls in the last few years that they observed a similar effect from training. So we've made it our mission to continue getting more women interested in martial arts and self-defense - in coordination with our network of martial artists worldwide. Join Our Fight!
WHO CAN TAKE PART?
Women and girls of all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels are welcome! Experience in martial arts is not needed, as these sessions are geared towards beginners and cover the fundamentals. We want you to realize your potential and how strong you really are.
This nonprofit campaign is supported and financed by chinkilla. #JoinOurFight would not be possible without our sponsors and the active support from all the participating gym owners, coaches, teammates, and community.
HOW DID THE #JOINOURFIGHT CAMPAIGN COME TO BE?
We first launched the #JoinOurFight campaign in Germany on International Women's Day 2022. Together with our martial arts network across the nation, we reached hundreds of women in one evening, and motivated them to take a step towards martial arts and self-defense. The incredible feedback and high demand made it clear to us that #JoinOurFight should not be a one-time thing, but a campaign that expands its reach into the future. For March 8, 2025, we've organized over 50 free martial arts events for women and girls.
HOW IS #JOINOURFIGHT FINANCED?
Join Our Fight is not-for-profit. All campaign costs (organizing, marketing, advertising, logistics) are supported and financed by chinkilla and our sponsors:
chinkilla: making the world safer by empowering women to fight back.
GEMMAF: German Mixed Martial Arts Federation.
