Self-defense that actually works
Every technique in the WE Rise was chosen because it works in the real world against someone larger, heavier, or stronger than you. Our curriculum was built with input from law enforcement and survivors of assaults to identify the 20 most common attach patterns women face. Then it was designed by women who train in Jiu-Jitsu, taught by women who live this work.
