WOMEN WITH WEAPONS

will be published as an anthology of creative non-fiction by women who practice any style of the Filipino Martial Arts.

Why writings by women in the Filipino martial arts? Because they are fast, strong, gutsy, beautiful.
Because they are rare!
A CALL TO WRITERS:
Are you a woman of any nationality who practices the Filipino martial arts?
You must have arrived from many different dimensions to find your true art of fighting and self-defence. You must have gone far, learned lessons of the muscle and soul, discovered yourself through techniques, encountered obstacles and difficulties in a male dominated field, fought hard and emerged victorious.
Why your choice of martial art? What brought you there?
What do you wish to tell women and all martial artists worldwide? 

Your contribution will be priceless, the inheritance of many more women who will find themselves in the Filipino martial arts.
