Our Instructors
Our certified instructors are very discerning people. They did their homework and discovered that our method is the best. That said, not everyone wants to become a Defend University Instructor. Some of us just want to learn the moves to defend ourselves. Our network of certified instructors is constantly expanding across the United States and the world, and we are adding more to this list every day! If you want to learn the Defend University moves, contact one of our certified instructors today.
Please Note: There are instructors who are valid and do teach Jane Jitsu that have opted not to be listed here. If you need to check on the validity of an instructor's certification at any time, please contact us.
Note to Instructors: Are you an instructor with us, but you don't see your name on this list? Fill out the form HERE and we will be happy to add you.
