Building a Strong Foundation for a Lifelong Journey
Step 1: Learn The Techniques
Law enforcement officials and survivors of sexual assault helped us identify the 20 most common attack strategies that a male assailant is likely to use on a woman. From hair-grabs and chokeholds, to bear hugs and weapon defenses, the Women Empowered program covers it all.
Step 2: Develop Your Reflexes
Once you complete each of the 15 Women Empowered lessons once, you will qualify to participate in the Reflex Development (RD) classes.
In Reflex Development classes, you will learn how to combine the 20 techniques to address the most common occurrences in a real self-defense situation.
Step 3: Earn Your Women Empowered Pink Belt
Once you complete each of the Women Empowered lessons four times, and you’ve completed at least 8 Reflex Development Classes, you may be ready to test for promotion to pink belt! This is to test your understanding of the techniques and philosophies that are essential for survival in life-threatening scenarios. Once you earn your pink belt, you can attend WE classes for free, for the rest of your life!

Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our Women's Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Program
Definitely not! Our students are often so into the class and learning the techniques, that it’s only after the class that they realize they worked up a sweat!
The variety, challenge and the feeling of accomplishment when you master a self-defense skill or technique is why students love our Indio classes at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Indio.
But we find it’s the friendships and fun that keep students coming back. It’s like their second family. Why not find out for yourself? Book in for our limited time offer on this page!
First of all, we want to recognize your courage in seeking self-defense training. For many of our students, jiu-jitsu was the missing component of their healing process from past trauma. If you are looking for self-defense as a means to re-establish your power and feeling of safety, it is especially important that you find a supportive, safe, and self-paced training environment. This is why Women Empowered was created.
We recognize everyone in our classes has a different history, which is why all of our instructors are certified in taking a trauma-informed approach to our martial arts classes.
If a student does experience a trigger in class, we first want them to know that it is a normal, human response. We will support them in whatever way they wish to be supported, while giving them the space they may need to feel re-centered.
We always encourage our students to go at their own pace, even if that means not participating in certain techniques until they feel ready. We would be honored to support you on your journey, and hope to see you on our mats soon!
Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes may have described themselves like that before they started. There is absolutely no experience necessary for any of our beginner classes. You will fit right in!
Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at what your body is capable of, and how much you can improve! Our certified martial arts instructors are trained to keep their teaching simple, effective, and beginner-focused. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop ‘ninja-like’ skills! Come see for yourself!
Just show up! Upon arriving, you will be given a uniform (“gi” pants) and will be given a focused introductory lesson by one of our instructors before you join in the group class.
No previous experience is necessary for any one of our group classes, so you will never feel left behind.
Our program is structured by class number (15 group classes), so you will always know exactly what techniques you will be learning on any given day. You could even check out the techniques of the day on GracieUniversity.com before class to get a head start!
