Jiu-Jitsu for Women

Gracie Barra’s GBF Program is designed to introduce women to Jiu-Jitsu in a safe, welcoming, and empowering environment. Whether you're completely new or returning to the mats, our structured classes are built to support your growth every step of the way.

Find Your Power. Build Your Skill. Join the GBF Program.

The GBF Program offers a supportive and inclusive introduction to Jiu-Jitsu for women, focusing on core techniques while building confidence and preparing students to progress into more advanced classes like GB1, GB2, and GB3.

Led by certified instructors, GBF provides a structured and positive environment that encourages women to challenge themselves physically and mentally. It's more than self-defence - it's a path to personal growth, resilience, and community.

You'll join a group of like-minded women who support each other’s journeys - on and off the mats. Whether your goal is fitness, self-defence, or simply trying something new, GBF is your first step into the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
