Women's Self-Defense

Life-Saving Lessons

Makhuwa Brazilian JiuJitsu will provide students with methods of self-defense that can be applied to a variety of real-life situations. We will begin by teaching prevention practices. This includes discussion on how to increase awareness of your surroundings, how to avoid becoming a target, and how to increase security in your home and through your everyday habits. We will then teach students various self-defense techniques and actions which can be used in the case that they are confronted by an attacker. We will practice hands-on drills that allow each student to apply the skills they have learned, as well as allow students to select the best method of defense in various circumstances. The lessons we teach at Makhuwa Brazilian JiuJitsu could save your life.
