AHA MEDIA recently spoke with Vancouver Police Officer Wes Fung who mentioned he had a friend who trained women in Self Defense.

Some women of LifeSkills Centre have been wishing for some training in Self Defense

Officer Wes Fung has attended many of our social justice classes at LifeSkills Centre and has been a big help in finding solutions to our problems in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside through listening to our concerns through open and honest discusssion.
