You Are Worth Fighting For

Underdog Martial Arts co-founder Colleen Daly is bringing her brand of self defense, Guerrera Fight Club, to Asheville.

The idea behind Guerrera's creation was simple: women and femmes deserve to feel confident, strong, and powerful in their bodies. They deserve to take up space, to be aggressive, to know that they are worth fighting for. 

At the same time, women are socialized to do the opposite - to make ourselves small, to apologize unnecessarily, to avoid aggression and confrontation at all costs. Countering those forces requires training. We sought out to provide it through intentional self defense, striking, and grappling programs.

Guerrera is about expressing physical and intellectual power. Guerrera is about fighting back against sexism, objectification, and gender-based violence. Guerrera is about celebrating physical and intellectual feminism in community.

We are proud to be trauma-informed, woman-led, and accessible to beginners.

The best part about Guerrera is the community. We hope you will be a part of it.
