Gracie Barra Lake Country Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Our new self-defense class for females ages 11 and up, starts in one week. I've had a few questions so I wanted to take this opportunity to answer them.

How is this for all fitness levels?
Some of the techniques don't rely on brut, strength, or size. These techniques focus on leverage and positioning using the flow of movement.

What if I'm uncomfortable?
You participate at the rate you are comfortable with. Having the knowledge is the first step. We are committed to keeping an environment where everyone feels safe and at ease. You go at your pace, not mine.

What if I do it wrong?
Honestly, we all do it wrong every now and then. Making mistakes shows that you are trying. We may all look silly, awkward and messy but so what? It's part of the process.

You and your training partner will talk it through together and help each other perfect the technique. This is a space to learn, make mistakes and awkwardly laugh together. Keep in mind, that everyone will be busy learning the technique too.

If you, like me, were in a difficult relationship and are looking to regain your confidence, this class is for you.

If you, like me, have a daughter and want to ensure she has the skills to protect herself, this class is for her.

If you, like me, are in your 40's and are seeking a full-body workout while sharpening your problem-solving skills and patience, this class is for you.

If you, like me, work in healthcare and sometimes face unpredictable patients, and want to develop your coping mechanisms, this is the class for you.

Whatever your reason, this class goes beyond just learning self-defense. It's about building your ability to handle pressure with composure, communication, fostering respect and building strength.

Mark your calendar and share. First class is on Wednesday, July.3rd at 5:30pm

Leiya at Gracie Barra Vancouver saw my picture on the wall where it all started for me, but unfortunately, I couldn't be there to celebrate the moment with her.
