What you'll do:

You'll spend 90 minutes learning real self defense skills that work in real life — not choreography, not theory — delivered by an instructor who takes every hit with a smile and means every word of it.

• Escape bear hugs and wrist grabs – Practice breaking free from the most common real-world grabs using body mechanics, not strength, so the technique works regardless of size.

• Defend against chokes – Learn and drill the exact counter-moves for front and rear choke holds until the response is muscle memory, not guesswork.

• Strike with your body's natural weapons – Identify and use the parts of your body built for impact, so you always have something to fight back with.

• Put your skills to the test on the instructor – Jesse suits up and takes every hit, giving you the rare experience of applying what you've learned against a real person in a controlled, safe setting.

• Walk away with slow-mo video proof – Every class includes photos and slow-motion video of you in action, so you leave with something to show for it.

Jesse runs every session with the intensity of a professional class and the energy of a group night out. By the end, you'll have techniques you can actually use — and a group of women who just got tougher together.

Why we love it for your party:

• Real Krav Maga and Jiu-Jitsu techniques – You're learning from two of the most effective street-tested martial arts systems, taught in a way that's accessible from day one.

• Certified instructor with world records – Jesse holds world records in fitness and has over a decade of teaching experience, including work with assault survivors and refugee communities.

• Small groups, maximum 20 – Everyone gets hands-on attention and personal reps, not just a demo watched from the back of a room.

• Built for bachelorette parties and girls' nights out – The structure, energy, and memorable format make this one of the most booked group experiences in Austin for a reason.

• Photos and slow-mo video included – Content is captured throughout, so your group leaves with something to share that actually looks incredible.

About this experience partner:

Jesse founded Ballbusters Self Defense after a personal assault experience prompted him to master Krav Maga, Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and street-defense tactics — then teach them to every woman who wanted to learn. He has since trained hundreds of women across Austin, including assault survivors and refugees, and holds world records in indoor cycling. He shows up in a pink spandex bodysuit, takes every hit with a smile, and gives every participant a high five after they drop him — because the point is that you can, and now you know it.
