Empower the People. Share the Art. Defend the Community.

The Collective Defense Project is a community-driven nonprofit dedicated to empowering individuals through martial arts, education, and service. We believe in using the discipline of jiu-jitsu and grappling to build confidence, connection, and resilience. We strive to create a space where people of all backgrounds can learn self-defense, support one another, and give back to the community.

The Collective Defense Project is currently ran and operated through Club JiuJitsu in So. IL
