20 ESSENTIAL TECHNIQUES
TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM THE SAME OLD ROUTINE
Law enforcement officials and survivors of sexual assault helped us identify the 20 most common attack strategies that a male assailant is likely to use on a woman.
From hair-grabs and choke-holds, to bear hugs and weapon defenses, the Women Empowered program covers it all.
RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY CLASS!
Studying Gracie Women Empowered can help you get in the best shape of your life. It’s a great way to lose weight, tone your muscles, and learn the key things you need to know to be able to defend yourself – even against an opponent who’s larger than you are.
THE EMPOWERMENT MINDSET
Beyond the physical techniques, Women Empowered also reinforces awareness principles, risk assessment, and verbal and psychological strategies a woman can use to set safe boundaries with others – even if the perpetrator is someone she knows.
At the core of this mindset is the belief that we are worth defending!
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.
Upon enrolling, we will issue you a Women Empowered attendance card on which we will track your progress every step of the way.
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! During this 30-minute test, we will assess your execution of all 20 essential techniques.
If your performance meets Gracie University standards, you will qualify for promotion to pink belt. As a pink belt, you will be more than ready to move on to the Gracie Combatives program should you choose to continue the jiu-jitsu journey!

My husband I and signed up earlier this year and have been taking classes ever since. The instructors are absolutely phenomenal and are so welcoming. The amount of knowledge the instructors have is just mind blowing. I had never once thought I’d be learning Jiu Jitsu and actually be grasping it & enjoying it so much. Do yourself a favor and dip your toes into their offered start up classes and you’ll see what I mean.
