women’s Jiu-Jitsu classes and self-defense training
Fight Sports has developed a unique set of classes to help introduce women to the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Join our community to learn the most effective self-defense techniques and improve your fitness routine in a safe, challenging environment.
Our women’s martial arts program is designed to teach women how to defend against any attacker – even those who are significantly larger in size. 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.
In addition to effective self-defense techniques, our women’s program is a great solution for anyone who wants to take their fitness routine to the next level. Gracie Barra’s Jiu-Jitsu techniques and versatile class schedules are a great way to keep your fitness routine from plateauing. Enjoy aerobic exercise and strength training that will help you achieve your fitness goals faster and more efficiently than classes offered in regular gyms.
Our martial arts classes for women include Rape Prevention, Jiu-Jitsu Conditioning and even social “get togethers” so you can swap Jiu-Jitsu tips and techniques with other like-minded women. We offer a sense of community that is unparalleled by any other martial arts studio in the area.
It is difficult to be prepared to defend oneself in a high-pressure situation without lots of practice and scenario training. According to National Sexual Violence Resource Center, 1 in 5 women almost 25% experienced completed or attempted rape in their lifetime in addition to a 1 in 4 chance of domestic violence.
Amongst all martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is considered the most efficient form of self-defense for women, using your body to create space or take it away through grappling. This program focuses on specific techniques designed for defending ones-self in a violent attack with a focus on real-world scenarios.
BENEFITS
- Situational training specific to women’s attacks
- Training for real-world scenarios
- Coordination drills
- Training with variety of body types
- Building strength and endurance
- Becoming comfortable in the uncomfortable
Our women’s only brazilian jiu jitsu classes are great for both beginners and advanced athletes. While co-ed classes offer many real-world benefits and stretch women from their comfort zone, training amongst other women helps match partners by weight and strength while also establishing a sense of community among the women in the sport and at the gym.
Train with us in the Gi classes or the No-Gi classes for variety.
I have to say that I have never been to a more welcoming gym in my life! Being a beginner is totally intimidating but everyone is super supportive and helpful. It truly is that “gym family” type of vibe. My husband and myself like it so much we started taking our kids for kids classes and have made it a family event.
