OUR STORY

OUR MISSION is to provide women and girls with fun and high-quality self-defense and violence prevention courses in order to help develop and build confidence, resilience, and self-worth.

​

From our founders to our instructors, each individual involved in our company believes in our mission to make women safer through self defense education and the building of confidence, resilience, and self worth.  In late 2021 the founders of The Warrior Forged Project (WFP - EST. 2015) and Mean Girl JiuJitsu (Mean Girl Project - MGP - EST 2020) decided to join forces and create what is today - HERO Self Defense, LLC | Mean Girl Self Defense.  

 

While keeping the vision and purpose of the (WFP) 5013C nonprofit alive, we decided to continue to create and add courses designed to give consistent training to those that attend the FREE seminars. We provide training to a level of proficiency in both Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Krav Maga, as well as introduce judo, wrestling, Muay Thai, Filipino martial arts,  firearms and other defensive and offensive weapons training, mixing in techniques and principals found in several martial arts and combative systems.

​

What is unique about all of our seminars and courses, is that we also train our instructors and students defensive tactics and violence prevention, passing on the knowledge of how to recognize violence before it happens and what to do to make yourself and your loved ones safer day-to-day.  Our instructors and founders are experts in the field and have given over 600 seminars and more than 200 courses in self defense and violence prevention.

​

All of our presentations, seminars, and courses are designed to accommodate everyone, at any age or ability.

You may or may not remember that I mentioned back in February that I did a thing. I stepped out of my comfort zone, the strong introvert that I am, as out of shape as I am, and went to a martial arts studio for a self-defense class for women where I knew no one. To say I was sweating bullets would be a legit understatement.

 

But I was determined and committed despite my insane life - and trust me it’s insane. See as a survivor of domestic violence, I greatly understand how fundamentally important it is to be able to protect oneself. Now as a momma of two young littles, feeling confident I can protect them and developing the skills to do so became paramount to me. 

 

What I discovered over the initial classes and then the 12 week program was I was not alone. I was surrounded by women equally new and wanting to gain control, each with their own story and reason for being there. A camaraderie and a bond was formed. A genuine want for each other’s success and a whole lot of laughter. Oh and we learned the beginnings of self defense with Krav Maga and Brazilian JuJitsu throw in. Tuesday nights have become my favorite night of the week. I sweat. I often feel like I’m missing something, knowing I’ll get it with time and practice. And I have a LONG way to go. But there is nothing like the feeling of confidence I have gained with each class. Yet another part of me I’m Taking Back this year.
