Ladies Jiu Jitsu + Self-Defense
Ladies only Jiu Jitsu Classes at the Stronghold
Jiu Jitsu provides a comprehensive workout that enhances physical fitness, strength, and flexibility, empowering women to feel confident and capable in their bodies. Beyond the physical aspect, Jiu Jitsu fosters mental resilience, problem-solving skills, and self-discipline, equipping women with valuable tools for navigating life's challenges.
Our supportive and inclusive environment encourages camaraderie and mutual support among participants, creating a welcoming community where women can thrive and grow together in their Jiu Jitsu journey.
Jiu Jitsu for Self Defense
In addition to its fitness and skill-building aspects, Jiu-Jitsu is an effective form of self-defense for women. Our Women's Only classes focus on practical techniques and strategies specifically tailored to address common self-defense scenarios women may encounter.
The beauty in Jiu Jitsu for women is that, using proper technique, a smaller and weaker individual can submit a bigger, stronger opponent. By learning how to effectively defend themselves against larger or stronger opponents, women gain a sense of empowerment and confidence in their ability to protect themselves in real-life situations. Through simulated drills and scenario-based training, women develop the awareness, reflexes, and assertiveness needed to stay safe and assert their boundaries with confidence.

“I searched for months to find the right Jiu Jitsu gym and self defense classes in town. I'm glad I found Stronghold located in the heart of Point Loma! Stronghold has become my second home and the professors/teammates my family. Training Jiu Jitsu and learning self defense has given me confidence that a petite person my size can protect themselves.”

A VITAL SKILL:
“As a mother of 5, with 4 daughters, I think it’s more important than ever for ladies young and old to learn a form of Self-Defense, Jiu Jitsu being one of the most effective in compromising scenarios. All of my kids have been training since they could walk and I firmly believe that every kid should have a basic understanding of the Martial Art for Self-Defense.
