Empowerment Begins Here
Empowerment begins here — through balance, awareness, and the calm confidence that comes from knowing you are capable of more than you realize.
YGG isn’t just a program. It’s a movement designed to strengthen your body, sharpen your awareness, and help you live empowered — inside and far beyond the classroom.
The YGG Mission
Our mission is simple and from the heart - to help women step into their own strength through fitness and self-defense training that builds confidence from the inside out.
At YGG, empowerment isn’t about fighting -it’s about becoming.
Every class is designed to strengthen awareness, balance, and the quiet kind of power that changes how you live, lead, and move through the world.
“Empowerment is built one moment, one movement, and one mindset at a time.”
Meet the Founder
At 5’3” and 111 lbs, I’m living proof that strength isn’t measured in size - it’s built through skill, confidence, and consistent training.
With over 30 years of experience in fitness and martial arts, I’m a Master and 7-time National Champion in Tae Kwon Do, with additional training in Krav Maga and Jeet Kune Do.
I created YGG Fitness & Defense to give women more than a workout - to help them build balance, awareness, and the unshakable confidence that comes from knowing you can protect yourself.
“Fitness within itself holds so many personal benefits. When you add the ability to defend yourself... for a woman, it is an indescribable level of empowerment.”
