Women Empowered®
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Self-Defense Program for Women & Teen Girls
Effective Self-Defense for Women
Women Empowered is the official Gracie self-defense program for women based on the techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). In this 15-lesson program, we will teach you how to neutralize the 20 most common attacks ranging from having your hair grabbed to being pinned to the ground by a weapon-bearing assailant.
Fun and Easy to Get Started
You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience.
Unlike most self-defense systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in the Women Empowered program employ leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger opponents.
Learn leverage to overcome physical strength
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is the perfect self-defense system for women, but only if it is taught correctly. If you’re unsure about learning BJJ for fear of injury, embarrassment, or any other reason, then the Women Empowered program is perfect for you!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US
"Can't say enough great things about Han Mi! They have been so patient with us regarding class schedules, COVID-19 and getting settled into a routine. My daughter has been in martial arts previously, and after a few year hiatus was excited to get back into the swing of things. We are all excited to be part of the Han Mi family."
