At Ground Control Columbia, our Women’s Jiu-Jitsu classes provide an empowering and safe space for women to develop their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) skills. Whether you want to improve your fitness, learn self-defense, or build confidence in a co-ed setting, our program is designed to help women at all fitness and experience levels. This class offers a unique blend of physical, mental, and practical benefits, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking personal growth through martial arts.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is renowned for its ability to help smaller individuals overcome larger and stronger opponents using leverage, technique, and body mechanics. In our Women’s Jiu-Jitsu classes, we focus on addressing the challenges women might face regarding size and strength discrepancies. This makes it an ideal form of self-defense, as you’ll learn to use your body efficiently to neutralize potential threats, no matter the size of your opponent.
However, the benefits go far beyond self-defense. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu helps women build confidence, discipline, and mental toughness—all in a supportive, safe environment. Our Women’s Jiu-Jitsu classes also take into account issues that disproportionately affect women, such as assault and abuse. We create a nurturing space where women can learn valuable self-defense skills and process and grow from their experiences in a supportive community.
The curriculum in our Women’s Jiu-Jitsu classes follows the same structure as our regular BJJ classes but with added attention to the unique experiences of female martial artists. Whether you’re brand new to BJJ or have some experience, you’ll find a welcoming and encouraging environment. Each class begins with a dynamic warmup to get your heart pumping and muscles engaged. The drills focus on building functional strength, flexibility, and cardio endurance—all while learning essential Jiu-Jitsu techniques.
The heart of the class revolves around grappling, rolling (sparring), and applying BJJ techniques in one-on-one scenarios. These training methods build physical strength and help develop problem-solving skills. As you roll with your training partners, you’ll learn to anticipate movements, strategize in real time, and use leverage to your advantage.
One of the best parts of the Women’s Jiu-Jitsu classes is the sense of camaraderie and community. You’ll train alongside like-minded women who are there to support and empower one another. This environment is designed to foster confidence, whether you’re here for fitness, self-defense, or to gain experience for co-ed classes and tournaments. The techniques you learn in our Women’s classes will prepare you to train confidently in any setting, whether co-ed or women-only.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers a wide range of benefits, especially when it comes to fitness and overall well-being. Each class provides an intense full-body workout that helps build strength, cardio endurance, and flexibility. The warmups and drills are designed to challenge your body while keeping you engaged and excited to come back for more.
In addition to the fitness benefits, learning BJJ boosts your self-confidence in a big way. There’s something incredibly empowering about knowing you have the skills and techniques to protect yourself. This sense of empowerment often carries over into other areas of life, helping women feel more confident in their personal and professional lives. Plus, the supportive environment we create at Ground Control Columbia ensures you’re training in a space that encourages personal growth and development.
And let’s not forget—BJJ is also a lot of fun! The engaging, strategic nature of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu makes each class exciting, and the variety of techniques ensures there’s always something new to learn. Whether rolling on the mats, perfecting submissions, or working up a sweat during the drills, you’ll leave each class feeling stronger and more accomplished.
While our Women’s Jiu-Jitsu class is designed to meet the specific needs of female martial artists, we also offer a range of co-ed classes for those looking to expand their training. Our co-ed classes include MMA, Boxing, and Muay Thai Kickboxing, so you can try different martial arts styles and see what works best for you. If you’re seeking more personalized attention, we also offer private lessons to help you fine-tune your skills with one-on-one coaching.
At Ground Control Columbia, we believe in creating a welcoming environment for everyone—no matter your age, experience level, or goals. Whether you’re looking to get in shape, gain confidence, or learn valuable self-defense skills, we have a class that fits your needs.
