Why Jiu-Jitsu is great for women?

At Ascension, we believe that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training empowers women both physically and mentally. Jiu-jitsu is by far the most practical martial art for women because it uses leverage and body mechanics to overcome larger and stronger opponents. In a real self-defense situation, few women will win against a male aggressor by kicking or punching. When attacked, women are most likely to end up on their backs. Jiu-jitsu teaches women how to effectively fight from this "inferior" position and to completely control an aggressor who is on top of them. Knowing that you can defend yourself is a huge confidence builder.

In addition to the self-defense benefits, BJJ training is a fun and challenging workout that has the potential get you into the best shape of your life.

Ascension welcomes women of all ages, shapes, and sizes into our program. Whether you are a young woman entering college who could use a lesson is self-defense, a mom who wants to get in shape, or a serious competitor, we invite you to check us out. Call for a free orientation.
