Fight Like A Grrrl Club
Mission
Fight Like a Grrrl Club offers free self-defense workshops in central Virginia. F.L.A.G.'s mission is not only to teach self-defense but also to build strength, independence, and resilience in young girls, challenging outdated norms that prioritize submission over self-sufficiency and confidence. We focus on helping vulnerable populations and survivors of assault, especially women, adolescents, and members of the LGBTQ+ communities, but we welcome all people into our classes. By sharing self-defense techniques and strategies that are simple, efficient and effective, we aim to give members of communities impacted by gender-based violence a sense of agency and the confidence to avoid, prevent, and resist assault. Our long-term goal is to train qualified instructors throughout Virginia to bring these programs directly to their communities.
Vision
We envision a world where everyone can walk without fear. Through free, inclusive workshops, we teach boundary-setting, de-escalation, and self-defense while challenging the culture that discourages people - especially women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ communities - from saying no or fighting back. We firmly believe that self defense education should be for all people, regardless of income level or resources. Our mission is not only to teach self-defense but also to empower individuals, raise awareness & change the way society condones an unsafe world for youth, trans, non binary and femme folx. In our workshops, we discuss ways to de-escalate dangerous situations. Outside our classes, we fight to change the culture that teaches grrrls it's rude to say no and that it's wrong to fight back. We teach individuals how to set boundaries, to say NO & to fight back.
Goals
- 1.To increase the number of classes we can offer and the number of students we can reach.
- 2.To expand our curriculum to include programs specifically for young people, to teach them the skills to stand up for themselves before it becomes necessary.
- 3.To train more teachers and expand our curriculum to maximize our reach and impact.
