you've probably thought about it before. maybe you, or someone close to you, has been in a moment that felt unsafe and wondered what you would do if things became physical. knowing how to respond can make all the difference.

this one is for the ladies.

we're bringing in dr. ignacio juan keller sarmiento to the downtown jiu-jitsu club for a introductory self-defense class rooted in brazilian jiu-jitsu. techniques designed to work even against a larger, stronger attacker. no prior experience necessary.

what you'll learn

the session is split into two parts. first, you'll learn escapes from common standing situations: wrist grabs, hair pulls, and chokes. in the second half, you'll work on how to respond if taken to the ground.

the focus is escape-based, not striking. break free, manage distance, get out safely.

what to expect

you'll partner up and take turns as attacker and defender in a safe, controlled environment. want an extra challenge? you'll have the option to test your skills against ignacio with increased resistance.

time permitting, ignacio will close with a q&a on real-life situations.

what to wear

comfortable workout clothes, hair tied back, barefoot or socks. contact lenses recommended over glasses.
