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 hold two certifications in Empowerment Self-Defense specific trainings as well as certification in trauma informed education.

My most recent certification is with Soul Punch Self-Defense, a by women for women approach to personal safety which incorporates smart pepper spray technology. It is an empowering education in personal safety and self-defense for women and girls who wish to take their training to the next level. To find out more about my Soul Punch offerings see my ‘Soul Punch’ page or reach out to me directly.

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. Please reach out if you believe that empowerment self-defense or Soul Punch training would benefit you or your community.
