KUWAIT CITY - Asma Hasnawi and her daughter Riham spend more than 12 hours a week learning kajukenbo, a hybrid martial art the mother says boosts her child's confidence and thwarts bullying.

In a small hall in Kuwait City, women and girls in black uniforms gather to learn the basics of self-defense.

On their left sleeves are the flags of Kuwait and the US state of Hawaii, where the hybrid martial art of kajukenbo was developed in the 1940s.
