Charissa Crayton

I’m a native of Butte Montana and have been living in the Gallatin Valley for the past 18 years and practicing martial arts for just as long. The primary martial art I have practiced is Karate in which I achieved a 3rd degree black belt and a 2nd degree black belt in traditional weapons. I have continually participated in various martial arts to deepen my understanding of martial arts and self-defense. I also hold two certifications in Empowerment Self-Defense specific trainings as well as certification in trauma informed education.

It is truly and honor and a privilege to connect with and support women and girls on their journeys of personal growth and empowerment. I am passionate about showing women and girls their own inherent strength and how truly capable they are of achieving empowerment, confidence, and safety on their own terms.

Teaching self-defense and empowering others on their own terms is my passion. I am always educating myself and participating in ongoing education to be able to serve as many people from as many different walks of life as possible.
