WOMEN ONLY JIU JITSU
practical self defense, fitness, supportive community
Women’s Jiu Jitsu – Fundamentals
Women are welcomed and encouraged to attend our co-ed classes, however, we also recognize that co-ed classes are a barrier of entry for many women. As a day one beginner who is learning the basics of self-defense and how to use your body efficiently, feeling comfortable and safe is necessary for effective learning. This class covers the same curriculum of our Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals classes, only taught in an all women environment by our coach Hannah Sharp. This curriculum is ongoing, you can join in anytime.
Women’s Jiu Jitsu – Intermediate
This is the next level up for after you get your bearings in the fundamentals class. Instruction will more thoroughly explore the basics, introduce some more advanced techniques. Sparring intensity will increase, and though it is not a class focused on competition, time will be spent preparing those women who do want to compete.
Please contact us with any questions about the class or to schedule your free trial. You are invited to come in and train with Hannah and the team for a week for free.
Women’s fundamentals meets three times a week: Saturday 11am, Sunday 10am, Wednesday 7pm.
Once you have the basics down, you are welcome to train with the rest of the women’s team in the three additional intermediate classes: Thursday at 6pm, Sat at noon, and Sun at 11am.
