The P.O.W.E.R. Collective

YOUR DONATION directly fuels this critical mission. Every dollar contributes to providing free self-defense classes, making our communities safer and more empowered.

In Michigan, too many lives are impacted by violence. Kitsune Defense has partnered with P.O.W.E.R. (Peaceful Organization for Wellbeing, Empowerment, and Resilience), a collective of artists and musicians, to change that.

Together, we're bringing vital self-defense training to communities across the state – COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE.

We believe EVERYONE deserves to feel safe and confident. The P.O.W.E.R. mission is to PROVIDE EXPERT-LED SELF-DEFENSE AND SITUATIONAL AWARENESS TRAINING, to help individuals to build the confidence, resilience, and personal safety skills they need to prevent victimization. This isn't just about physical defense; it's about discovering your power and feeling safer in every day life.

All proceeds go directly to Kitsune Defense, supporting our work to:
