Women practising Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu self defence at Gracie Barra Artarmon

Feeling confident and safe in your everyday life is essential — and that’s exactly what women’s self defence classes at Gracie Barra Artarmon are designed to support. Conveniently located on Sydney’s North Shore, our academy welcomes women from Artarmon, Chatswood, Lane Cove, Crows Nest, North Sydney, and surrounding suburbs who are searching for self defence classes near me that are practical, empowering, and welcoming.

Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Is Ideal for Women’s Self Defence

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the most effective forms of martial arts for self defence, especially for women. Unlike striking-based martial arts, BJJ focuses on leverage, technique, and control, allowing a smaller person to defend themselves against a larger, stronger opponent.

At Gracie Barra Artarmon, our women’s self defence and Jiu-Jitsu classes teach you how to:

  • Manage real-life self defence scenarios

  • Escape from grabs, holds, and ground positions

  • Stay calm under pressure

  • Use technique rather than strength

These skills translate directly into real-world confidence — both on and off the mats.

A Supportive Environment on Sydney’s North Shore

Walking into a martial arts academy for the first time can feel intimidating. At Gracie Barra Artarmon, we prioritise a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where women of all fitness levels feel comfortable learning.

You’ll train alongside a community that values Brotherhood, Integrity, and Development — core Gracie Barra principles that shape every class. Whether you are completely new to Jiu-Jitsu, returning to fitness, or already active, our instructors guide you step by step.

More Than Self Defence – Fitness, Discipline, and Mental Strength

Our women’s BJJ and self defence classes don’t just teach techniques — they also improve:

  • Fitness and mobility

  • Mental resilience and focus

  • Discipline and consistency

  • Overall wellbeing

Many students notice improvements in posture, strength, and energy within weeks of training. It’s a powerful way to stay active while learning a valuable life skill.
