Jiu-Jitsu—which literally means the gentle art—is a famous form of self-defense that does not rely on physical strength and power. Using techniques of strikes, holds, locks, chokes, throws, and evasions, it employs mechanics through leverage and knowledge of human anatomy to overcome any attacker with minimal effort and strength.
Jiu-Jitsu teaches self-confidence, improves self-esteem, relieves stress, and increases the ability to focus.

We begin class with some light calisthenics and stretching. Following our warm-up we then begin drilling technique. These drills when done over and over help form muscle memory and help our students retain technique. After our drilling is completed then we begin to spar (or roll). Rolling is when students are able to put their techniques to the test with training partners who can resist and counter just as they would in an actual fight, providing valuable real-world experience should the techniques ever need to be applied in an actual fight.

Without a doubt, Jiu-Jitsu is a sport that women excel at. With numerous skilled practitioners and competitors who inspire and lead the way, our community warmly welcomes and actively encourages women to participate in the sport. It offers an empowering opportunity.
While Jiu-Jitsu can be physically demanding and challenging, it is a martial art that is based on technique and leverage rather than brute strength. This means that women can often use their natural strengths, such as flexibility, agility, and technique to their advantage.
In addition to the physical benefits of practicing Jiu-Jitsu, many women find that it is a great way to build confidence, develop self-defense skills, and become part of a supportive and inclusive community.

The Gi game obviously has a lot more to it. Everything that can be done without the Gi can be done with it, making it a more complex game. Additionally, taking away the Gi allows physical attributes such as size, strength, and slipperiness to come to play with greater effect due to the lack of levers and friction. Working with the Gi is generally considered more of a thinking man’s game. Not that No-Gi isn’t, it’s just that the Gi removes many physical advantages and adds more techniques. For now, you should view your kimono as a set of training wheels. As you develop a higher level of proficiency, you will learn to perform Jiu-jitsu techniques both with and without a kimono. For now, the kimono will add a level of sophistication to your game that will result in you as a student becoming a more advanced and technical fighter.
