Women Empowered ®
Self-Defense Classes


Women Empowered is the official Gracie self-defense program for women based on the techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu ®

It is one of the only women's self-defense classes you will find in the Kansas City region. 

How You Will Learn Self-Defense:


  • Learn how to break free from your attacker
  • Learn how to avoid being taken to the ground by a determined attacker
  • Learn how to escape from underneath an attacker pinning you to the ground
  • Learn how to thwart potential attacks by making yourself a "hard target"

15-lesson Program

In this 15-lesson self-defense 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. Each one-hour Women Empowered lesson addresses two techniques.

No Experience Needed

You can start the self-defense 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. Once you complete the Women Empowered program, you may test for promotion to pink belt!

Step 1: Learn the Techniques

We have divided the 20 Women Empowered techniques into 15 one-hour classes so that you can complete the course at your own pace. We designed each lesson so you can start the program at any time and complete the 15 lessons in any order.

Step 2: Develop Your Reflexes

Once you complete each of the 15 Women Empowered lessons once, you will qualify to participate in the Reflex Development (RD) classes where you will learn how to combine the 20 techniques to address the most common occurrences in a real self-defense situation.

Step 3: Earn Your Pink Belt


Once you complete each of the Women Empowered lessons four times, and you’ve completed at least 8 Reflex Development Classes, you are eligible to test for promotion to pink belt! ​
