MKM BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU & RECOVERY STUDIO

Women’s BJJ Self-Defense Classes

Coach Moe is deeply committed to this cause because he has many women in his life whom he loves dearly, including his wife and two daughters. By equipping them with the skills to protect themselves, he feels he is fulfilling his role as a husband and father. His goal is for all women to feel safe and empowered, which is why he is dedicated to making these classes a valuable resource.

Here are some common self-defense scenarios that women might encounter

  • Walking Alone at Night: This is a frequent concern, especially in poorly lit or isolated areas.

  • Public Transportation: Situations can arise on buses, trains, or while waiting at stations.

  • Social Interactions: Uncomfortable or threatening situations can occur in social settings, such as bars, parties, or even on dates.

  • Domestic or Workplace Harassment: Unfortunately, many women face threats from people they know, including colleagues or partners.

  • Traveling or Commuting: Being in unfamiliar areas can increase vulnerability to potential threats
