Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for women.
At Salsa John BJJ we offer co-ed classes and encourage women to come train with us.
Brazilian jiu jitsu is not only a great work out it is also an effective form of self defense. BJJ is good for women because it does not rely on strength or size but leverage and technique. In most cases when a women is faced with a physically threatening situation, the assailant will be bigger and stronger. That is exactly when BJJ comes into play. Using the principles of leverage and angles BJJ gives women not only the confidence, but the defensive and offensive tools needed to subdue, overcome and escape a larger opponent.
