Taking Power: Martial Arts for Girls & Women
OUR MISSION
Girls and women shouldn't fear walking alone.
We are done waiting for the abusers to change their minds. In the meantime, we, together with other organizations, facilitate self-defense workshops and martial arts scholarships . These programs build more than physical skills; they cultivate confidence, mental toughness, and awareness – a powerful deterrent against violence.
Our mission is to build a future where women are truly free from fear - in their own power.
"Remember the days you prayed
for the things you have now."

Power Only Yields to Power
We organize Self-Defense workshops in schools and colleges, and we encourage, facilitate, and support enrollment in martial arts schools.
We fundraise and sponsor martial arts enrollment for underprivileged girls and young women.
Work With At-Risk Youth
We prevent violence at the source by teaching at-risk youth self-discipline, respect, honor, and kindness.
Together with social services, community organizations, and law enforcement, we provide structure and positive role-models, mentors, and peers for at-risk youth.
You Are Not Alone Program
This program supports victims of violence by showing up and providing moral and emotional support during court proceedings and other stressful and vulnerable events.
Facing their abusers in court causes fear and is traumatizing. Our martial arts volunteers accompany victims in court, in a show of strength and moral support.
Lobbying for Martial Arts in Law Enforcement
We raise awareness and support martial arts programs for law enforcement to curb the use of lethal force, and boost mental and physical health.
Our focus is on traditional martial arts like Ju-Jitsu and Judo for disarming and controlling situations without the use of lethal force.
Power Only Yields to Power.
