OUR WOMEN'S SELF-DEFENSE PROGRAM CAN HELP YOU FACE LIFE WITH CONFIDENCE

Our goal at Quest Jiu-Jitsu and Self-Defense is to help every woman in Chapel Hill and Durham walk away feeling stronger, fitter, and more confident in everything they do.

We have flexible training options for women who want to increase their confidence and self-defense skills!

Join our Weekly Classes

The best way to build real self-protection skills is through consistent, purposeful practice. Like any skill, self-defense improves with repetition, guidance, and the opportunity to train under realistic pressure—so you can respond with greater confidence when it matters most. Both BJJ and To-Shin Do classes offer an opportunity to learn and practice self-defense in a supportive community environment. We have a great community of women who train, and we will pair you up with a female coach to help you on your journey!

Attend a Workshop

We know that not everyone has the time to train weekly, and we want to provide you with the opportunity to learn skills, both physical and practical, to feel more confident. We offer these workshops 2-3 times a year for 2 hours at our dojo in Chapel Hill. In there workshops, we cover: Practical strategies to keep you safe How to use your voice to set boundaries Escapes to some of the most common attacks women face The opportunity to continue training after your class if you would like to reinforce the skills you learned

Train Online

Empowered Defense is a video course designed for young women, specifically college-age, who are statistically likely to experience some sort of harassment or assault in their lifetime. This course has been put together in an easy-to-practice and remember format so that self-defense scenarios can be explored and trained before they are experienced for real. Once you purchase the course, you can access it to review or practice anytime.
