Women's Self-Defense at Gracie Barra Encinitas

Confidence. Strength. Community.
When I began my own self-defense journey, I was simply a student wanting to feel safer, more confident, and more capable in my everyday life. What I quickly discovered was a powerful need within our community: women deserve access to practical, street-specific self-defense training—taught in an environment that feels safe, supportive, and empowering.
That realization is what inspired the Women’s Self-Defense program at Gracie Barra Encinitas. Our classes focus on real-life scenarios and proven techniques designed to work when size and strength aren’t on your side. Here, you’ll build confidence, develop practical skills, and become part of a strong, supportive community of women training together.

Why Our Program Works

Did you know that most real-life altercations end up on the ground? It’s a reality many self-defense classes don’t address—what happens after the first strike.
Our program is designed to gently guide women through those moments, helping you feel calm, capable, and confident in the positions that can feel the most vulnerable - especially if you’re taken to the ground by a larger opponent.
At Gracie Barra Encinitas, you’ll learn practical, real-world techniques that truly work against stronger opponents. Using leverage, awareness, and smart movement—not brute strength - you’ll build the skills to protect yourself, regain control, and get to safety, all within a supportive and empowering environment.

More Than Self-Defense

This is more than a class—it’s a community.
When I first began training, there were just 4–6 women on the mats. Today, our community has grown to over 80 strong and continues to expand. That growth is a powerful reminder that women want and need this kind of training - and that when we support one another, we rise together.
In our Women’s Self-Defense program, you’ll gain:
  • Practical, effective self-defense skills for real-world situations
  • Confidence in your ability to protect yourself and stay calm under pressure
  • Strength - physically, mentally, and emotionally
  • A supportive, welcoming community of women who train and grow together

A Safe Space to Grow

We’ve intentionally created a space where women of all ages and experience levels feel safe, welcomed, and truly supported. Whether you’re stepping onto the mats for the very first time or ready to deepen your skills, this program is designed to meet you exactly where you are - and help you grow with confidence.
As Gracie Barra celebrates 20 years in the Encinitas community, we’re proud to continue our commitment to empowering women through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and real-world self-defense. This is your invitation to train, connect, and become part of something strong, lasting, and life-changing.
