On an ordinary night, Dawn found herself leaving a bar when an unexpected threat emerged. With confidence and skill, she applied her Jiu-Jitsu training to protect herself. Utilizing one of the core principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)—controlling the distance—Dawn skillfully maneuvered to keep her attacker at bay until help arrived. This simple yet effective strategy highlights the beauty of Jiu-Jitsu: knowing when to be close and when to maintain distance. It’s a lesson in empowerment and self-reliance.
The Power of Jiu-Jitsu for Women
Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a martial art; it’s a transformative experience designed for everyone, regardless of size or strength. It empowers smaller and weaker individuals to defend themselves effectively against larger opponents. “As a woman standing at 5’6”, I’ve personally experienced the power of Jiu-Jitsu. Training alongside my husband, who is 6’3” and of an imposing stature, has taught me invaluable techniques to leverage my agility and skill against a much larger counterpart. Our training sessions are not just fun—they’re empowering and enlightening.” reveals Dawn
Professor Seidler Rodrigo, a renowned expert in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, emphasizes, “BJJ is an incredible self-defense method because it teaches individuals to use leverage and technique over brute strength. It’s about strategy and intelligence, making it ideal for self-defense situations.”

Professor Andrea Warner, who leads women-only Jiu-Jitsu classes, shares, “Our women-only classes provide a safe and supportive environment where women can learn and grow together. It’s not just about learning self-defense; it’s about building confidence, community, and resilience. Women leave our classes feeling empowered and ready to tackle any challenge.”
