ARE YOU DEALING WITH

ANY OF THESE TROUBLES?

You’re concerned about walking alone at night and want to feel secure in any situation.

You’re looking for a workout that leaves you feeling strong and empowered, not just worn out.

You want the confidence to stand up for yourself anywhere, knowing you’ve got the skills to handle it.

GOOD NEWS, THERE’S AN ANSWER...

DEFEND YOURSELF WITH BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU

Self-defense isn’t all about weapons. Even folks who try to use one can end up hurting themselves more than the bad guy. That’s no good. You need a method that works for you, no matter what.

Women’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu keeps it simple and smart. It turns self-defense into a smooth art. You learn holds, sweeps, and ground moves made for real life. You get stronger, more confident, and ready to handle danger.

YOU WILL GROW WITH EVERY CLASS!

Women’s Self Defense shows you how to protect yourself by using your body’s natural responses to an attack while providing you with the skills – and strength – to disarm and defeat attackers. Throughout your training, you’ll increase your stamina and sharpen your reflexes, transforming into a fighting machine.

HANDLE WHATEVER COMES YOUR WAY

Nobody plans to be a crime target, but it can happen to anyone. The best shield is knowing how to use your body right.

Women’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn’t just about moves—it’s real training for real situations. No fluff or fancy talk. You roll, you spar, you learn to react under pressure.

With our women-focused instructors guiding you, you’ll feel confident using your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills both in class and out in the world.

BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU IS A POWERFUL WORKOUT

Want a workout that actually sticks? The treadmill gets boring fast.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu drills torch calories and keep you hooked. You’ll punch, guard, and grapple your way into killer strength. Every class hits your whole body, so you’ll shed pounds and build muscle at the same time.

PRACTICAL SELF-DEFENSE MADE SIMPLE

Sticking with new moves can be tough when you freeze in a real threat.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu works with what you already do—like raising hands to block—and turns it into tight holds and sweeps that stop attackers cold.

You focus on simple steps: grip, control, and finish. It’s easy to learn and even easier to remember under pressure.

Rolling in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu demands your full mind and body. You can’t worry about bills when you’re focused on escaping a choke.

After class, you’ll feel pumped with endorphins and proud of what you’ve done. Stress doesn’t stand a chance.
