Women Empowered FAQ

Have questions about getting started? You’re not alone. Here are answers to the most common questions women ask when joining Women Empowered — so you can step onto the mat with total confidence.

How do Gracie Women Empowered classes differ from other self-defense programs?

Women Empowered is based on Gracie Jiu-Jitsu — a proven, leverage-based martial arts program designed to help smaller individuals effectively defend against larger opponents. The curriculum focuses on the most common types of attacks women may face.

Will this program help me feel safer when I’m out alone?

Definitely. Women Empowered women’s self-defense classes are designed to give you practical tools and awareness so you can move through the world with more confidence, whether you’re walking to your car at night, waiting for the bus or traveling solo.

I want to get stronger and more capable, but I’m not very athletic. Will I fit in?

Absolutely. This program meets you exactly where you are — no matter your current fitness level. You’ll build strength, coordination, and skill step by step, supported by instructors and classmates who want to see you grow.

Is this just physical training, or will I learn how to handle uncomfortable situations before they get physical?

Both. Women Empowered focuses heavily on boundary-setting, verbal assertiveness, and recognizing red flags early — so you’re prepared to defuse situations long before they escalate.

Can I bring a friend or family member to try it out with me?

Yes! Many women feel more comfortable starting alongside someone they trust. We love welcoming sisters, best friends, mothers and daughters — anyone who wants to learn together.
