Empowerment

Empowering women and girls to not fall prey. Educating everyone about the fundamentals.

Fight Like A Girl Fight For A Girl

Martial Arts program for 8-18 years old to teach women, children and men how to set appropriate boundaries and to defend them when necessary with training in situational awareness and self-defense.

Human trafficking uses fear, manipulation and control to strip the victim of their ability to make choices and feel empowered. Our karate programs build confidence and self-esteem in our students. We teach them to set and achieve goals while respecting themselves and others. We do so in a safe, structured environment where our trained instructors keep them motivated and wanting more. They will also learn self-defense and interpersonal communication skills that will last a lifetime. Our youth get better grades, make more friends, and work towards their black belts. We build confidence and in the process attendees receive information about human trafficking.
