Ladies only self defense
Jiu Jitsu allows practitioners to survive and defeat bigger, stronger, seemingly more athletic opponents, using technique and strategy to overcome strength and size differences. This ability to defeat larger, stronger opponents, is precisely what made Brazilian Jiu Jitsu into the worldwide phenomenon it is today, and makes it the perfect martial art for women to learn.
Our instructors will help you run drills to simulate realistic attack and escape situations you might encounter in the real world. With practice, you can leverage an attacker’s weight against them, allowing you to escape and get to safety unharmed. The self-defense techniques taught in this class use Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals that complement our selection of additional adult classes.
