Are you a woman interested in martial arts but not sure where to begin?
Although the most popular martial artists a typical person may think of might be men, women have been key players in the history of martial arts. From the female warriors who founded popular styles centuries ago to the female stars of modern judo and karate, let's take a look at martial arts for women throughout history.
Martial Art Styles Created by Women
The martial arts style Wing Chun takes center stage in Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee movies. However, it was a woman, Ng Mui, who created this style in the 17th century. It's believed that Ng Mui found inspiration watching a crane and snake fight in the woods. The style is characterized by short direct strikes and throwing multiple moves at the same time.

The popular White Crane Style was also developed by a woman, Fang Qiniang. Like her counterpart, Fang Qiniang was also inspired by the movements of the crane. Legend says she encountered a crane as she was doing her chores one afternoon. When she tried to scare the bird off with a stick, the crane countered her moves gracefully and repeatedly. The White Crane Style is common in women's self-defense classes due to its delicate nature and moves that don't rely on great strength.
Modern Martial Arts for Women
Kayla Harrison is a vibrant star in today's martial arts world. She's a decorated Olympian and world champion judoka. But Harrison is not only well-decorated as a female competitor. In 2016 she was promoted to 6th degree black belt as the youngest person in the US to earn the rank. Since 2018, Harrison has successfully competed as a mixed martial artist.
