mission

Own your power, master your defense

We are here to protect our people. Through grappling, jiu jitsu, and self-defense, we're reclaiming the strength our ancestors passed down. Our mission is to help our communities-especially women and youth against the crisis of trafficking and violence we face at alarming rates.

​

 

In a world where Indigenous people are targeted and trafficked at rates far higher than any other group, we stand as protectors and teachers, reclaiming our right to safety, strength, and sovereignty. We offer training that fosters personal empowerment, community resilience, and cultural strength.

​​

​

Through sweat, skill, and solidarity, we build confidence, community, and the capacity to fight back. Our mats are not just places of training-they are sacred spaces of healing, resistance, and cultural resurgence.

​

 

This training is about more than fighting. It's a way to heal, to empower one another, and to honor the warriors who came before us by continuing their fight for safety, strength, and survival. It's about building each other up, and walking a path of safety, pride, and resistance-together.

​

 

We believe that when we train together, we rise together.
