MEL THOMAS
THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND KYUP! PROJECT
As Australia comes together to try and address our current epidemic of domestic violence, one woman is using her own experience to help empower young people to find their voice and learn about positive relationships.
Mel Thomas is a writer, speaker, media commentator, mother of two girls and black belt with more than 20 years of martial arts experience in Hapkido, the Korean art of self-defence.
In 2013, Mel founded the KYUP! Project in response to a wave of child-on-child assaults and family violence reports in her local area. Pronounced KEY-UP! and named after a martial arts power shout, KYUP! is giving girls a voice.
Find out why Mel is so passionate about self-worth and self-defense. Watch now.
