ABOUT GIRL ARMY

Girl Army is a self-defense collective that began in 1994 through Suigetsukan. Our members are feminists, queer and sexpositive activists, and anti-authoritarians. We are a community based collective, run entirely on volunteer work and some student contributions.

JOINING GIRL ARMY

Anyone who completes the Basics Course is automatically a member of the collective and is welcome at our bi-monthly meetings, which are part meeting and part training (1/2 meet, 1/2 mat). Members can receive training to participate in classes as attackers (uke training) and eventually can qualify to teach classes. Members can also come to our yearly retreat.
