Helio Gracie, the "father" of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) transformed traditional Jiu-Jitsu by modifying techniques that worked with his smaller and weaker stature. The core of Jiu-Jitsu is self-defense. Because leverage is the foundation of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, this martial art form is beneficial for everyone - children, women, men - including those with some forms of disabilities.
Children can begin learning foundations of jiu- jitsu as young as 3 years old; and the maximum age range is truly unlimited as the art is designed for weaker practitioners. Helio Gracie, the founder of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu continued to practice jiu-jitsu until he passed away at 95 years old. Tomorrow we will have our 2nd monthly Women's Self-Defense class from 5:30-6:30 pm.

Womenâs Self-defense
Report
Island Jiu-Jitsu is dedicated to teaching women how to defend themselves in real-life situations using Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques. These techniques are based on leverage - not how hard you can kick or punch someone. This class is focused on hands-on learning. This means that you will partner up with other students and instructors (male and female instructors are available) to physically practice each technique step-by-step.
