Our women’s self-defense program is designed to maximize the effectiveness of Jiu-jitsu techniques while taking into consideration the capabilities of the female body. This program is designed to empower women by increasing the awareness of their surroundings and enabling them to react calmly and effectively in order to defend themselves in adverse situations like confronting a robber or, in worst-case scenarios, fending off a potential sexual assault. Using the principles of leverage, timing, positioning and momentum will allow women, regardless of their build, to neutralize size differences, whether standing or on the ground, when defending themselves from any attacker. The women’s self-defense program also serves as a very effective aerobic and anaerobic exercise that through consistent attendance will result in weight loss, improved cardiovascular conditioning, flexibility, increased strength and muscle tone and an overall sense of healthiness and well-being.
