We provide accessible, subsidized professional self-defense training in response to rising antisemitism. Campus safety and local security aren’t doing enough to protect Jewish students and young adults. They need de-escalation skills and the ability to defend themselves if confronted.

Why This Matters Right Now
The risk to Jewish teens and young adults is rising quickly, and current safety responses aren’t keeping pace.
Threats are no longer limited to campuses. Jewish teens and young adults also face hostility in public spaces and online. Security responses are reactive, and policy change takes years. Self-defense training gives people immediate, practical tools to stay safe today.
