Self Defense for women

Women’s Self Defense at Adapt Jiu Jitsu builds on the original 36 self-defense techniques from the 1950s Gracie Academy, adding innovative methods to counter hair grabs and pulls—common in women’s self-defense scenarios—plus techniques to handle threats of unwanted advances or abduction. This class focuses purely on practical self-defense, with no sparring, emphasizing skill through drills and repetition.

Who’s It For?
Designed for women of all levels, from beginners to those with experience, who want effective self-defense skills. Ideal for anyone looking to feel safer and more confident without stepping into sport jiu jitsu.

What to Bring/Wear?
A clean Gi is required (available for first-timers if needed). Wear comfortable underlayers or rash guards and bring a readiness to train—no additional gear necessary.
