	Linda grew up in a poor village in the Philippines and was raised in a grass hut with a dirt floor. Linda says as a child there was never a day when she wasn't hungry. With eight brothers and sisters, Linda worked hard from the time she can remember to help feed her family. When she was just nine years old she left home to get away from her abusive, and alcoholic father. She found a job drying fish in the small village of Tandok and began sending money home, a practice she has continued all of her life.

	Linda came to America in 1968 where she met her husband, Professor Larry Reid. Linda began teaching at her husband's martial arts school in 1975. She had such a passion for teaching women's self-defense that it wasn't long before women were coming to her from all over to learn. She was a great role model and an exceptional Martial Artist with ability to easily connect with and convey her knowledge to her students.

To Linda, her students are all part of her family. She not only teaches them to defend themselves , but is involved in their lives. To them she is their mother, sister, counselor, and friend. She shares their sorrows and joys; their laughter as wells as their sorrows. Her students love her and they know they can always count on Linda when they need her.

Linda has just begun her life long dream of helping women, young and old safe from being victimized. To pursue this dream she has developed an extremely practical and powerful method of self defense using motions and movements that women already know and use everyday. This allows any women to easily learn to effectively defend themselves in a short period of time. She has just produced a DVD with this information to be distributed around the world.
