Should a girl know how to defend herself? Why should a female be part of Gracie Barra?


As a martial art created to allow the smaller individual to defeat the larger, BJJ is a perfect fit for women who are interested in learning how to protect themselves while simultaneously getting fit. The Gracie Barra Women’s Program combines a comprehensive self-defense curriculum with emphasis on drills that simulate realistic attack and escape situations.

The techniques are complemented by a strong fitness component that is second to none compared to classes offered in regular gyms. Classes specially designed for women like Rape Prevention, BJJ Conditioning and social outings are added benefits to the ordinary GB activities and create a strong bond between the members of the “Gracie Barra Womens Team.”
