Women Only - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu PROGRAM

Welcome to the Women Only - Gi & No-Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Program!

GBK’s Women Only - BJJ Gi and No-Gi classes are based on the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground, and using a variety of joint locks, chokeholds, and submissions to defeat them.

BJJ training can be used for sport grappling, as well as in self-defense situations. It is one of the safest full contact martial arts for practitioners. Sparring, commonly referred to as "rolling”, and live drilling play a major role in training and the student’s development.

BJJ is also an efficient method of promoting physical fitness through incremental development of core strength, core stability, flexibility, and balance. It is instrumental in building one’s character and eventually as a way of life. Submissions, sparring, and live drilling comprise the most essential parts of the training regime.

Women Only - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Gi and No-Gi 

Our Women Only - BJJ training classes allow women to practice with other women at their individual level of physical ability, and over time with improved physical conditioning at full speed and with full strength, resembling the efforts made in competition or life-threatening situations. Training methods include drills in which techniques are practiced against non-resisting and resisting partners; Isolation sparring (commonly referred to as positional drilling) where only a certain technique or sets of techniques are utilized; and full sparring where each student tries to submit her opponent through application of learned techniques. Guard, Side Control, Full Mount, Back Mount, North/South Positions, Compression, Joint Locks, and various Choke Holds are some of the many techniques taught by our female instructors. Classes consist of Gi and No-Gi and cover all the respective techniques and variations relevant to both situations. 

Additionally, physical conditioning is also an important aspect of training, and to facilitate such improvement students at GBK have access to our full in-house gym with free weights, and weight training equipment. Group, Individual and Private Training is available for all students seven days per week.
