Jiu Jitsu is a great way to exercise, stay focused, and be connected to your own body, but did you know that this Brazilian fighting technique is also a great way to practice self-defense?
Defensive Action
At Gracie Barra we teach Jiu Jitsu self-defense techniques that are grounded in being ready and responding to your opponents’ offensive actions. So, if you do find yourself walking down a dark street alone, your attacker might think that you’re an easy target to harm, but you will know how to protect yourself. Jiu Jitsu isn’t used to attack first, rather it allows you to use principles of angles and timing to defeat your attacker in a non-violent way.
Learning Jiu Jitsu self-defense techniques at Gracie Barra is a time and effort dependent skill. You won’t know how to practice self-defense Jiu Jitsu overnight, but our highly qualified team of instructors at Gracie Barra will help you to feel confident and prepared to stand up to an attacker by the time you finish our self-defense course.
