Powered by Aloha. United by Ohana.
'Ohana means 'family' in Hawaiian.
Not just the one we're born into, but one we build together through aloha.
Because sometimes, we must create our own.
OUR MISSION
To uplift girls 10+ and women with empowerment-based self-defense in real-world situations—designed by and for women survivors, always free to friends most impacted by violence.
Our youth program focuses on violence prevention, breaking generational cycles of harm.
At Ohana, ALL women and youth are welcome.
Our all-women led classes teach situational awareness, de-escalation, and practical self-defense in a supportive space centered in aloha and chosen family.
We believe bodily autonomy and freedom from harm are human rights -- not just for those with privilege.
Our self-defense program for girls 10+ inspire youth with a vision of a peaceful future,
and the skills to make it real.
Co-ed adult safety workshops are available upon request here.
We are your people. This is your future.
The data tells a story destined for change. Whether you've lived it, witnessed it, or want to end it, join us in changing the future through the power of aloha and ohana.
