The Arise Self-Defense Club is for female, non-binary, and LGBTQ2+ individuals aged 13 and up who want to feel safer, stronger, and more confident in their everyday lives.
Whether you're completely new to self-defense or looking to build on existing skills, our classes offer a supportive, inclusive space to learn. We welcome all fitness levels and abilities—no experience required.
You can drop-in for one class but we recommend becoming a regular so you may build effective reflexes.
If you're ready to move your body, connect with community, and build skills rooted in empowerment and self-trust, this space is for you. Could you make us your new self-care ritual?

Weekly Friday Nights
Your new Friday night ritual. The Arise Self-Defense Club offers a weekly opportunity to recharge, connect, and train in an empowering environment. These 75-minute classes blend Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-based self-defense techniques with mindfulness, movement, and facilitated group discussions.
Come every week, or drop in when you can. You’ll leave feeling stronger, safer, and more confident in your body and voice.
We'll be following a 10-week class cycle, so over time you'll get to revisit techniques and build your muscle memory.
