Gracie Barra Santa Barbara is hosting a FREE self defense clinic where women may try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu FREE on Saturday February 27 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. This program helps you avoid attack, offers a variety of ways to escape and, if necessary, defend yourself from a violent assault. Based on leverage techniques that do not require strength, speed, or coordination, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gets you in better shape, burns calories faster, and is more fun than working out at a gym. Under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
