Women in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu

When asked if Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is recommended for women my answer is always “It's better for women than for men”.  Why? Because normally when a woman gets attacked, the attacker is not trying to box or kick-box with her. The attacker most likely wants to grab her and control her movements and this often includes taking her to the ground. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is perfect for that type of confrontation.

Benefits of BJJ for Women

  • Women learn how to escape, hold, control, and submit an opponent from the ground.
  • Using the principles of leverage and angles, BJJ equips women with the defensive tools required to subdue or escape a larger  or stronger person’s aggression. 
  • Women’s classes are open to only women with perhaps one advanced male student to assist with demonstrations.
