Women Empowered

Women Empowered is the Gracie self-defense program for women. The program addresses the 20 most common attack strategies that a male assailant is likely to use on a woman — applying the principles of leverage, timing, and energy efficiency.

In addition to the techniques, we teach a set of critical awareness principles and preemptive defensive strategies to help women reduce their risk of being targeted. Most self-defense programs don't address what to do when the fight goes to the ground, but this is where we specialize.

Also, 78% of sexual assaults are by people you know. Women Empowered has non-violent neutralization techniques, making it the only program that offers viable options to defend against known attackers.
