“OWH is a welcome, supportive community space with a variety of ages, body types, and people. It’s been a confidence booster in my overall body awareness and capability, but also in my ability to know what to do should I ever find myself in an unsafe situation, which is particularly important as a transman."

"“My friend and I found this place when searching for an inclusive self-defense training. We felt so welcome and safe there that we signed up for Intro to Martial Arts, then kept going. After a year of hard work, we are now intermediates and building a community of the most wonderful people we didn't know we needed."
