From the dojo to the world stage, Lina Khalifeh has a message for women, and men

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2020

I loved Lina's book, her honesty, her success, her message.
I met Lina in 2011 at an entrepreneurship program at Thunderbrid Grad School in Arizona sponsored by the Business Development Center of Jordan. Lina had on a t-shirt with a tae kwon do figure on it. We compared notes -- she's 3rd Dan, I'm 2nd Dan. Her power and excellence is off-the-charts (and that's not just about TKD). One of the tenets of TKD is to teach -- to share experience, wisdom, strength, knowledge, control, confidence. Now she's doing that -- for everyone, by writing this book.
While Lina travels the world sharing her message through Shefighter training and frequent appearances (e.g., UN, White House, Olympics) now everyone can take advantage of a message reading her story. It's a short read, and I couldn't put it down. Read it in one sitting on the day I got it! What I loved is changing the stereotypes:
- Self-DEFENSE is standing up for yourself and your beliefs, not attacking others "Teaching people to fight so they can hurt other people is not worthy. Teaching people to fight for a cause...I can not think of many higher callings."
- When you are empowered, not everyone will be thrilled. But YOU will be thrilled.
- Violence is a problem everywhere. It's not a Middle Eastern problem. It's not a woman problem. According to NCADV, 1 in 4 women in the US have encountered SEVERE physical violence. This is why this book is for everywhere. I loved Lina's stories about what happened when women started defending themselves against assaults (including verbal). Brava!
- It's a positive story. If a tomboy of Palestinian descent living in Jordan with a damaged ACL can become a world leader empowering women, then why can't we all stand up and dance too?
Thank you, Lina, for telling your story. You inspire me. Looking forward to Volume 2!

I LOVE this book and will be gifting it to many people. This is the journey of a girl in Jordan all the way to a worldwide stage for establishing an international self defense school for women. This an autobiography of the She Fighter founder, and as she is in her online speeches, she is super witty, will make you think and motivate you all at once. It made me realize that so many things are possible when you have the courage to believe in yourself and your mission. Recommend!

Lina shares her personal & professional challenges that made her the warrior of today!
I love how open she was to share how she was bullied because she was different and how she never gave up on what she believed it was right and on her dreams!
Not only this, she turned what she learned to an initiative and a program to empower young girls and women around the world!
SheFighter is a great program and This is a great book for sure!

The humility in this life story is amazing, in tandem with confidence and determination. Lina speaks of realities that we need to hear, of discrimination, sexism, injustice and corruption that triumph when we are idle and silent. Lina empowers young women, mothers, grandmothers, sisters and daughters - and men - to value each unique person as precious and sacred, strong and deserving. She challenges us to love ourselves and tells a complex story in simple, approachable ways that make her the friend you want to have in your corner. SheFighter is not only a self-defense training but a concept that gets us closer to understanding that “There is no disgrace in losing. There is only disgrace in accepting defeat as a way of life.”

This is my favorite book and the most amazing book I've ever read.. ❤️ I really loved every single word of it. Everyone should read it to learn how to believe in yourself, never give up on your dreams and to be strong and true to yourself..
"When life punches you in the face and throws you to the ground, stand up and say, 'You punch like a baby.'"
Lina is a very great person! ❤️❤️

Lina was vulnerable in providing insight from some of the hardest moments in her life. She showed passion, dedication, and the will to take on the people who thought women didn't belong. If you want to read about a true fighting spirit, getting inspired in the process, then this book needs to be on your list!
