Female self defense

WOMEN'S SELF DEFENSE

The true purpose of Jiu-Jitsu is for the the smaller opponent to defeat a larger opponent. The founder of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Helio Gracie, said that one should “Always assume that your opponent is going to be bigger, stronger and faster than you; so that you learn to rely on technique, timing and leverage rather than brute strength”. Because women/girls often find themselves at a physical disadvantage compared to men, we believe that the grappling principles taught in Jiu-Jitsu are the perfect avenue for women’s self-defense. Because of this fact, our program is heavily rooted in the Jiu-Jitsu style that the Gracie family has proliferated around the world.

Competition training

COMPETITION TRAINING

Whether you want to prepare for competition or just an intense training session, this is the class to come to. This block of training is not focused on instruction as much as it is a combination of HIIT training of Jiu-Jitsu concepts and sparring focused with competition rules in mind. This is a great way to improve your intensity and mentally prepare for both competition and any situation where you’d find yourself under duress.
