Where Girls Build Confidence, Character, and the Skills to Protect Themselves—For Life!
Summer
Camp
2026 Date TBA | 8:30-11:30am
We Don't Teach Girls To Fight– But To Be So Aware, Strong And Confident That They Never Have To.
1. Say “No” With Confidence
Your daughter will learn how to resist peer pressure, assert herself, and set clear boundaries—skills that protect her in everyday life.
2. Stand Up to Bullies and Know Her Worth
She’ll gain the courage to speak up for herself and understand that her value comes from who she is, not what others say.
3. Walk With Confidence and Awareness
We teach girls how to carry themselves confidently, stay aware of their surroundings, and avoid becoming a target.
4. Protect Her Personal Space and Privacy
From public spaces to online interactions, she’ll learn how to guard her body, mind, and personal information.
5. Defend Herself With Real Martial Arts Techniques
Your daughter will train in powerful Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing skills designed specifically for self-defense—so she can escape danger and get to safety.
6. Build Unshakable Confidence and Strong Character
Through fun challenges and positive mentorship, your daughter will develop discipline, courage, and self-belief—the foundations for success in school, friendships, and life.

More Than Martial Arts–
A Blueprint for Confidence and Safety
DAY 1
STREET SMARTS
Be Aware. Be Ready. Never Look Like a Target.
The #1 place kids are abducted is on the walk to school. On Day 1, girls learn the 3 Pillars of Street Smarts—how to walk with awareness, avoid lures, and spot danger before it strikes.
🔸 Martial Arts Focus: Defending grabs and pushes.
DAY 2
PEER PRESSURE DEFENSE
Say “No” Clearly, Confidently, and Without Losing Friends.
Over half of teens who try drugs say it was due to peer pressure. Today, girls learn how to set strong, respected boundaries and surround themselves with positive influences.
🔸 Martial Arts Focus: Escaping pins and ground control.
DAY 3
BULLY-PROOFING
Stand Tall. Speak Strong. Stop Harassment Early.
160,000 kids miss school every day due to bullying. On Day 3, we teach the 3 Pillars of Bully Defense—how to project confidence with voice and body language, and how to de-escalate or take action when needed.
🔸 Martial Arts Focus: Defending punches and strikes.
DAY 4
CYBER SMARTS
Protect Your Privacy. Spot Red Flags. Stay Safe Online.
1 in 5 kids are contacted by predators online each year. Girls learn the 3 Pillars of Cyber Safety—how to guard personal info, recognize manipulation, and trust their gut.
🔸 Martial Arts Focus: Defending lures and being pulled away.
DAY 5
UNBREAKABLE CONFIDENCE
Courage in Action: Watch Her Rise.
Knowledge and skills are useless without the courage to use them. On the final day, girls put everything into practice in our Self Defense Challenge—realistic role-plays where they use their voices, defend themselves, and rise with confidence you’ve never seen before.

"My daughter came back much more confident. She felt that she could say no and fight back. That was the pivot point when we realized her confidence had totally grown, and from that point she was not bullied anymore at school. Now my daughters have the mindset that they can and they will protect themselves!"

Girls Who Fight was founded by Gemma Sheehan—a former MMA fighter, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, and passionate advocate for empowering young girls.
