At Brave Buds, we empower children across the SF Bay Area with essential self-defense skills. Our mission is to help kids build confidence and develop personal safety awareness through engaging, hands-on training. We offer programs at local libraries, public parks, and community centers, making self-defense education accessible to all.
Brave Buds was founded by Saanvi Sharma, a fourth-degree black belt with 11 years of Taekwondo experience. Over the past two years, she has trained more than 300 children across the SF Bay Area in self-defense. Her passion for teaching stems from a deep understanding of how self-defense builds confidence, resilience, and real-world safety skills that last a lifetime.
We offer a structured 5-week curriculum designed to introduce children to the fundamentals of self-defense. Each session teaches essential techniques, from basic stances and strikes to situational awareness and real-life applications. Our classes are interactive, engaging, and tailored to all skill levels, ensuring every child feels confident and prepared.
Our self-defense classes are held weekly at libraries, parks, and community centers throughout the SF Bay Area. Families interested in enrolling can sign up online, and all registered participants will receive class details via email. Join us today and take the first step toward self-confidence, safety, and empowerment.
