According to recent data from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) in the U.S. have been raped in their lifetime. Additionally, about 1 in 10 women (9.4%) have been raped by an intimate partner during their lifetime.
In today’s world, knowing how to defend yourself is incredibly valuable, especially for women. Jiu-Jitsu offers practical self-defense techniques that are effective regardless of size or strength, making it an ideal choice for women looking to enhance their safety and confidence.
Key Techniques
Jiu-Jitsu focuses on leverage, balance, and technique rather than brute strength. Women learn how to escape from holds, defend against larger attackers, and use their opponent’s strength against them. These techniques empower women to feel more secure and confident in their ability to defend themselves.
Real-Life Applications
The self-defense skills taught in Jiu-Jitsu are applicable in real-life situations. From wrist releases to ground defense, the techniques can be used effectively outside the dojo, whether to deter an attacker or to escape an unsafe situation.
Psychological Benefits
Besides physical defense, the psychological boost in confidence that comes from knowing how to defend oneself is significant. Women often report feeling more assertive and less fearful after beginning their Jiu-Jitsu training.
