WOMEN’S SELF-DEFENSE

Women’s Self-Defense That Actually Works!

Women Empowered® is the official Gracie self-defense program for women based on the techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). In this 15-lesson program, we will teach you how to neutralize the 20 most common attacks ranging from having your hair grabbed to being pinned to the ground by a weapon-bearing assailant. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience. Unlike most self-defense systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in the Women Empowered® program employ leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger opponents. Once you complete the Women Empowered® program, you may test for promotion to pink belt! ONCE YOU EARN YOUR PINK BELT, YOU MAY ATTEND WOMEN EMPOWERED® CLASSES FOR FREE FOREVER!

If you want to learn to defend yourself in a fun, safe and cooperative environment, the Women Empowered® program is for you. For more information, click Women Empowered®.

We also offer half and full-day corporate seminars that teach employees how to set, trust, and defend boundaries in the workplace.  For more information or to schedule a seminar, click here.
