Women-only training · Lakewood, NJ
Brazilian jujitsu, kickboxing, and certified firearm safety — taught by women, for women, in a room with no pressure and no judgment.
What we teach
Train in one, or both. Every session is hands-on, patient, and built entirely around your pace.
Track 01 — Self-defense
Practical, real-world skills to stand your ground and get yourself out of trouble. We start with the ground game and build to striking that carries real power.
Track 02 — Firearm safety
Confidence that begins and ends with safety. First-time shooters welcome — we move from the universal rules to your first day at the range at a pace that never feels rushed.
Why DefendHer
Learning to protect yourself shouldn't mean walking into a room where you feel watched. Here, you won't.
A private, comfortable room — every class, every time.
No experience needed. We start exactly where you are.
One-on-one focus, or train alongside friends.
Supportive coaching from women who understand.
Taught by women, for women
Jujitsu & self-defense
Purple belt · Brazilian jujitsu
Chana built DefendHer's self-defense program to be practical from day one — real techniques for real situations, taught with patience and zero intimidation. Her favorite student is the one who walks in saying, "I've never done anything like this before."
Firearm safety
USCCA certified instructor
