About
DM me on Instagram to book @selfdefensewithbrie I have spent the past six years teaching self-defense, helping people develop the skills and confidence needed to protect themselves in real-world situations. My approach is heavily influenced by the principles and techniques of Krav Maga, which I have studied for more than ten years. I specialize in preparing individuals of all backgrounds to effectively defend themselves against opponents of any size, particularly in mid- to close-range encounters where most real confrontations occur. Training with me focuses on practical, results-driven skills. You will learn how to sharpen your situational awareness, build endurance, maintain composure under pressure, and use your body efficiently and decisively when it matters most. My goal is to make martial arts and self-defense accessible to everyone. Whether you are a complete beginner or have prior experience, my training is designed to meet you where you are and help you grow stronger, more capable, and more confident. Through this process, you won’t just learn techniques, you’ll develop the mindset and self-assurance that no matter the situation, you have the skills to protect yourself and get home safely. Feel free to message me with any questions!

Brie is amazing! She tailors a unique and fun workout that meets you at your current fitness level and steadily progresses you forward. It’s a fantastic workout and feels great to learn self defense and boxing skills. We’ve been working together almost a year and I can’t say enough good things.

Brie is SO wonderful - I truly can’t recommend her enough! Not only is she incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but she is genuinely kind + encouraging. I worked with her for several years and saw a major improvement in my own skills because of her. 10/10 recommend!

I was so HAPPILY surprised at how quickly Brie was able to start teaching self-defense tactics and moves. What I accomplished Day 1 was what I thought it would take 3+ sessions to learn. She's a great teacher, and I really appreciate her patience and realness. I feel comfortable and excited during training, and I feel AMAZING after each session!
