meet the founder
Lea Habbouche
Founder and Lead Instructor
Tired of hearing stories (some, of people close to her) about women and children being attacked and harassed, she wanted something to change, so INTI was created.
Lea got into fitness with a mission to get more women moving into their strength. But after starting brazilian jiujitsu she realized that strength has a much greater purpose, it doesn’t just keep you healthy, it can also keep you safe!
Lea’s goal is to empower as many women as possible in hopes that this self defense for women program will help change someone’s fate and give them a higher chance of surviving in case of a violent encounter.
Lea, the founder of INTI
"I like most women was harassed and followed so many times, but I was always able to escape physically unharmed. However, there are a lot of women who freeze and don’t know what to do when they find themselves in an unsafe situation and we hear so many stories every day about women being harassed, kidnapped, raped or even murdered.
Something has to change!"
