Self-Defense jiu-jitsu

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?
