Women in BJJ

Inland Empire women can learn Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and other self-defense techniques with some of the top BJJ trainers in Southern California. All of our locations— Norco, Redlands, Riverside, and Fontana—offer co-ed BJJ training for women interested in training and sparring with both men and women. But our Norco location also offers an outstanding women's BJJ training program with all female students and a female trainer, Claudia Munoz, who is a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Defend Yourself with BJJ Techniques

Normally when a woman gets attacked, the attacker is not trying to box or kick-box with her. The attacker most likely wants to grab her and control her movements and this often includes taking her to the ground. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is perfect for that type of confrontation.

Brazilian Jiu-Jiu will teach women to:

• escape, hold, control, and submit an opponent from the ground.
• subdue or escape a larger or stronger person’s aggression by using the principles of leverage and angles.
• have confidence in close-up, full-contact situations

If you're interested in women-only BJJ classes and the Norco location is not convenient for you, Pinnacle Jiu-jitsu will be offering a women-only BJJ class through the City of Fontana Parks and Recreation program beginning in November 2008. More information on that program will be posted here soon.
