About Us
Our Mission
Our Mission goes beyond Seminars:
1. Building programs for foster youth—we aim to offer BJJ training to foster kids, providing them with valuable life skills, discipline, and confidence.
2. Improving physical education in schools—we’re working to incorporate BJJ into school curriculums, giving youth the opportunity to learn and grow through martial arts both during and after school hours.
3. Supporting Martial Arts athletes from the programs—we plan to connect sponsorships for martial artists who are struggling to afford memberships or competition fees, ensuring they have access to training and the opportunity to
compete.
If you’re interested in donating or volunteering, I’d love to connect with you!
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of women, youth, and athletes who need it most.
Thank you for your support,
and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us!

Shield Maiden
Defense Collective
I’m thrilled to introduce Shield Maiden Defense Collective, a by donation program adopted by the CIAC non-profit organization, dedicated to empowering women, strengthening communities, and making a lasting impact through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ).
At Shield Maiden Defense Collective, we’re offering By-Donation
Women’s Self-Defense Seminars that focus on equipping women and youth with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to protect themselves. But this isn’t just about self-defense; it's about fostering a sense of community, resilience, and support for everyone involved.
