Our Be Your Own Hero Girls Self-Defense program is back this fall in Vancouver, and registration is now open.

Designed for girls aged 9–12, the program teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu–based self-defense alongside confidence-building, boundary setting, and safety skills, all in a fun, age-appropriate environment.

Participants will learn how to:
• Trust their intuition
• Set clear boundaries
• Break grips and defend themselves
• Use their voice and body with confidence

Parents consistently tell us their kids leave class feeling confident and more capable of dealing with their friendship problems.

Classes begin Thursday, September 12 at 341 East Broadway, Vancouver, and run weekly from 4:00 to 5:15 pm.

Spots are limited, so get in touch ASAP to secure your registration.
