DefendHer™: Women's Self-Defense (Ages 13+)
DefendHer™ is our specialized 16-lesson self-defense program designed exclusively for women. We teach you how to safely and effectively neutralize common real-world attacks—ranging from unexpected hair grabs to being pinned to the ground by an assailant.
What Makes DefendHer™ Different:
-
Start Anytime, Zero Experience Needed: Our cyclical curriculum allows you to jump into any of the 16 lessons at any time. You don't need to wait for a specific start date to begin learning how to protect yourself.
-
Empowerment Through Leverage: Unlike systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, or coordination, DefendHer™ focuses on technique and timing. This ensures that anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make these moves work against a larger opponent.
-
Structured Progression: Every member receives an attendance card to transparently track their progress through the 16 lessons so you always know exactly where you are in the curriculum.
-
The Blue Belt Track: Want to keep going? After receiving your pink/white belt, step onto the mats in our Advanced program. Attending for at least 6 months and 50 classes makes you eligible for your blue belt.
The Pink/White Belt Promise:
Once you complete the program and earn your pink/white belt, your DefendHer™ journey doesn’t end—it becomes free. Graduates are welcome to attend any future DefendHer™ classes as refreshers at absolutely no additional cost. For example, receive your belt in February, March and beyond is free. Your membership only continues if you choose to take the next step and enroll in our co-ed Jiu-Jitsu programs!
