CAMP DETAILS
TECHNIQUES THAT WORK
This camp is a five-day, 15-hour, concentrated self-defense course tailored for teenaged women. Based on the Gracie Women Empowered® program, we will teach participants how to neutralize the most common attacks using leverage, technique, and timing rather than strength, speed, and coordination. Anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make these techniques work against larger opponents.
YOU ARE WORTH DEFENDING
Beyond the physical techniques, we will reinforce awareness principles, risk assessment, and verbal and psychological strategies a woman can use to set safe boundaries with others – even if the perpetrator is someone she knows. At the core of this mindset is the belief that we are worth defending!
FUN AND FITNESS
Campers will not only learn highly effective self-defense techniques, but also will find the training is fun, easy to learn, and provides a light workout.
SEMINAR DETAILS:
THE PERFECT INTRODUCTION TO BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
Designed to give anyone to tools to defend against a larger, stronger opponent, Brazilian jiu-jitsu is the perfect martial art for women. Unfortunately, the way BJJ is taught at most schools makes it confusing and discouraging for beginners. In this special Women Empowered® seminar, you will learn beginner-friendly techniques in a fun, collaborative, training environment, where safety is always the top priority! By the end of the seminar, you will feel totally empowered, and your only regret will be that you didn’t join our jiu-jitsu family sooner.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:
– Thwart potential attacks by making yourself a “hard target.
– “Break free from an attacker who grabs you without warning.
– Avoid being taken to the ground by a determined attacker.
– Escape from underneath an attacker pinning you to the ground.
