Step onto the mat with Femme Rising for a one-hour women’s self-defense session built for every body and every experience level. In a supportive, women-only space, you’ll learn practical, real-world techniques to protect yourself with confidence—how to recognize and de-escalate threats, break free from common holds, and use your body’s natural strength to create distance and get to safety. No experience, athleticism, or special clothing required; just come as you are and leave feeling more grounded, capable, and aware. Rooted in discipline, restraint, and genuine empowerment, this session is the perfect complement to a weekend of romance, connection, and celebrating yourself.
Meet Your Coach — Rei
Your session is led by Coach Rei, a longtime martial artist and instructor with deep roots in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and women’s self-defense. With years on the mat as both a student and a coach, Rei brings a rare blend of technical mastery and approachability to every class. She has spent years teaching practical, real-world self-defense, and she knows how to break complex techniques down into clear, doable steps that work for any body and any experience level.
What sets Rei apart is her openness: she creates a welcoming, judgment-free space for people of all backgrounds, ages, abilities, and experience levels. Whether you’ve never thrown a strike in your life or you’ve trained for years, you’ll feel met exactly where you are—supported, challenged, and empowered. Her goal isn’t just to teach you moves; it’s to help you walk away feeling stronger, more aware, and more confident in your own ability to protect yourself.
