Have you ever wondered what would happen if your daughter found herself in an unsafe situation on campus?
Walking alone, navigating parties, dealing with pressure, or handling someone who won’t respect boundaries.
Most young women are never taught how to recognize red flags, trust their instincts, or respond under pressure.
That’s exactly what this camp prepares her for.
Through realistic self defense training and real-world scenarios, she’ll build the awareness, confidence, and skills to navigate college life more safely and confidently.
3 Essential Skills for College Life
Awareness & Red Flag Recognition
She’ll learn how to stay aware in real-world environments like dorms, parties, parking lots, and public spaces, so she can recognize danger early and avoid situations before they escalate.
She’ll also learn the common tactics predators use to test boundaries, isolate targets, and manipulate trust, so she knows when something feels off and what to do next.
Boundary Setting & Confident Presence
She’ll learn how to use her voice, set firm boundaries, and carry herself with confidence in uncomfortable situations.
From saying “no” clearly to handling pressure and unwanted attention, she’ll develop the voice and presence that makes her harder to target in the first place.
Physical Self Defense & Real-World Scenarios
She’ll learn simple, effective self defense techniques from Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing to escape grabs, create space, and get to safety.
And through realistic scenario training, she’ll practice responding under pressure so she doesn’t just understand what to do, she trusts herself to do it.
So when she steps onto campus, she won’t just feel more confident, she’ll be more prepared.

Led by a Black Belt. Built for Self Defense.
Girls Who Fight is led by Gemma Sheehan, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt and former MMA fighter with over 16 years of martial arts experience and 10 years running women's-only self defense programs.
This isn’t sport-based training.
Our curriculum is designed specifically for real-world situations young women actually face, from peer pressure to public safety.
Why This Training Matters Before College
College brings freedom, independence, and new experiences, but it also introduces situations many young women have never been prepared for.
-
1 in 5 women experience sexual assault during college.
-
Women ages 18-24 face the highest rates of relationship violence and sexual violence.
-
And in high-stress situations, most people freeze unless they’ve trained how to respond under pressure.
That’s why this camp focuses on awareness, boundary setting, and real-world scenario training, not fear.
