About me

My name is Ruud Kirkels and I live in Rotterdam.

And my goal is to make EVERY person feel proud of themselves and to know that every person has the right to feel safe and deserves to be and feel happy!

After a number of times of abuse, I decided not to be in a victim role, but to help other people with this.

With this I hope to encourage people to learn to defend themselves and to feel more self-assured, because every person has the right to feel safe and proud of themselves. 

I also recommend that people (in addition to some self-defense techniques) also seek help from a real self-defense school.

To make themselves feel and look more confident.

It is also very important to know that self-defense is not only for women but also for men.

There are also many men who are abused by women. And unfortunately there is a taboo on this.
Men often feel weak if they mention this.

BUT REMEMBER, it is just a sign of courage and you are not weak at all.

We are equal as men and women!

I also sincerely hope to inspire people to feel themselves worthy and important.

Every person has weak and strong sides and nobody needs to feel ashamed of their weak sides.

Be who you are and be proud of yourself.

Wish you all the best and to feel save! 

Much love to you all 

Ruud Kirkels
