Our Mission
We strive to provide accessible, inclusive empowerment training through awareness of self and environment, learning to set boundaries in all aspects of life, creating community, and teaching effective physical self-defense to build a sense of safety and confidence. Beyond the typical techniques you may have seen in a traditional self-defense class, we believe that our voice is one of our most powerful and versatile tools. Being able to advocate for yourself and others takes a lot of courage, which is why we practice it so much!
Despite how important and beneficial self-defense training can be, it often isn't offered in ways that are accessible to the people that need it most. Martial arts gyms and police stations may not be spaces where survivors, women, people of color, and other marginalized communities feel safe learning and being vulnerable. Our goal is to be that alternative option; a space where anyone can join in and feel comfortable.
