Womens Self Defense Training Day - TODAY AT 2PM

Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu Academy is hosting a FREE Womens self defense clinic, on October 17th from 2 to 3pm. The Women’s Self-Defense Program was developed to help women identify and avoid potentially dangerous situations in order to prevent a woman’s worst nightmare: rape. The women’s curriculum includes elements of basic safety that can help a woman recognize possible danger before it escalates into physical attack. The techniques are designed to help any woman escape from her attacker, whether she is on her feet or on the ground. The escape moves of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are based on leverage techniques and do not require strength, speed or coordination. These classes are recommended for women at any age, size, strength or level of physical fitness. For more information, call: (805) 845-2272

Gracie Barra Santa Barbara’s New Location is a HUGE SUCCESS!

 

We are so thrilled with our new academy!  After over 45 days of intense work building the new school we have finally opened. The smiles we see on our students faces everyday makes all of our hard work worth it.

Lots of new students joined our academy in the past month, but the journey has just begun.  We expect to see many more new students making Jiu-Jitsu an important part of their daily lives.  It’s very exciting to be able to spread the word of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu every time some one new comes to visit us.

It’s a beautiful thing to introduce a little bit of the Brazilian culture to this community and we will keep working to bring only the best to our students and for everyone looking to learn more about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
