Class Description:
We provide opportunities for women and teen girls to make authentic connections while engaging in meaningful discussions around personal awareness, safety, and self-defense. With Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, the focus is on setting boundaries and learning how a smaller person can effectively thwart an attack from a bigger, stronger opponent using leverage, technique, and timing rather than strength, speed, and athleticism. Although the topic is serious, we provide a light-hearted and fun environment to learn together. Our self-defense classes are for women of all ages and athletic abilities. (Ages 12+) We’ve been meeting for almost 4 years and have had more than 300 women and teen girls join us!
Parking:
Free parking is provided in the church lot when available. If the lot is full, you’ll find inexpensive street parking and other paid lots nearby. There are occasionally issues with the new company that is managing the parking lot. If you ever receive a ticket, please send a picture of the ticket to Adam Snowden at adam@rooseveltchurch.org. Let him know you attended a women’s self-defense class, and he will get it cleared for you. Thank you for your patience as the church gets the parking process smoothed out. 🙂
Group Lunch:
We regularly walk to a nearby restaurant together after class. Lunch together is a great opportunity to make new friends, connect with your favorite training partner, or continue the self-defense discussions. If cost is an issue, please reach out and the church will cover you. We don’t want anyone to have to miss out due to cost. Planned Lunch Dates: August 24, September 21, October 19, November 16
