 Deer Lady Defense

A growing non profit training Native American communities, especially women and children, in self defense modalities such as grappling and jiu jitsu in recognition of the alarmingly high rates in which our people are kidnapped and/or potentially human and sex trafficked.

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.
