Wen-Do is a form of self-defence art for women developed by Ned and Ann Paige, a married couple from Toronto, Ontario. Dr. Paige, an optometrist, dedicated himself to creating a program to teach women to protect themselves after hearing of the murder of Kitty Genovese in New York on March 13, 1964.
Ned and Anne were practitioners of jujutsu, karate and judo. However, through the years as many more women took up Wen-Do, various techniques were shared and added to the system.
