Classes
WOMEN'S ONLY
Your space to train and grow
ABOUT THIS CLASS
Our Women's Only classes provide the same high-quality BJJ instruction as every other class at Francis Jiu Jitsu, in a space designed specifically for women to train comfortably. Whether you are completely new to martial arts or have been training for years, this class is built around you.
Self-defence applications are woven into every session. You will learn how to control distance, escape bad positions, and use leverage and technique to neutralise larger, stronger opponents. These are practical skills that build real-world confidence both on and off the mats.
The environment is supportive, encouraging and completely judgement-free. Many of our members started with zero experience and discovered a passion they never expected. The friendships formed in these classes are just as valuable as the techniques.
WHAT A TYPICAL CLASS LOOKS LIKE
One hour. Three phases. All skill levels.
15 MINUTES
