Women’s Martial Arts Program

A Gracie Barra Introduction

Our O’Fallon, St. Peters, Washington, West County, and Chesterfield locations make it easy for women all over the Greater St Louis area to participate in martial arts classes close to home.

In addition to the classes we offer in the Adult Gracie Barra Program Structure, our Academy has a specialized program developed to introduce women to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

BJJ is a martial art designed to allow a weaker opponent defeat a stronger one. It is ideal for self-defense, and is a great fit for women who are looking to protect themselves.

Comprehensive Self-Defense

The Gracie Barra Women’s Program pairs an inclusive self-defense curriculum with focuses on drills that emulate realistic attack and escape/defend situations.

The techniques students learn are integrated with a strong fitness component that cant be found or offered in regular gyms.

The courses are specially designed for women and the team gatherings are an added benefit to the Gracie Barra activities. You will have the opportunity to create a strong bond between the members of the Gracie Barra Pink Team!
