Women's
Self-Defense

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.
