Starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can feel intimidating, especially when many academies have significantly more men than women on the mats. At Bones Jiu Jitsu, we wanted to create an environment where women can learn, ask questions, and build confidence while training alongside other women in a supportive and encouraging setting.
Our Women's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Class is held every Thursday at 6:30 PM and welcomes students of every experience level. Whether you've never stepped onto the mats before or you're looking to sharpen your technique, our structured approach makes it easy to begin and continue progressing at your own pace.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the most effective martial arts for self-defense because it emphasizes technique, leverage, and control rather than size or strength. You'll learn practical skills while improving your fitness, building confidence, and becoming part of a positive community that wants to see you succeed.


Brazilian Jiu Jitsu offers benefits that extend far beyond the mats. While many people begin training to learn self-defense or get into better shape, they quickly discover that Jiu Jitsu also develops resilience, problem-solving skills, and confidence that carries into everyday life.
Every class challenges you mentally and physically in a way that's rewarding and engaging. Instead of repetitive workouts, you'll constantly learn new techniques, solve different situations, and celebrate small victories that add up over time. As your skills improve, so does your confidence in handling unfamiliar or stressful situations.
Many women also appreciate the supportive community that develops through training. You'll work with partners who encourage your progress, celebrate your achievements, and help create an environment where everyone feels welcome regardless of experience level.
Whether your goal is to improve your fitness, reduce stress after work, develop practical self-defense skills, or simply challenge yourself with something new, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu provides a lifelong path for personal growth.
One of the biggest misconceptions about Jiu Jitsu is that you need to already be athletic or experienced before you begin. The truth is that everyone starts as a beginner, and our Women's Class is specifically designed to make that first step easier.
Every Thursday at 6:30 PM, our instructors guide students through structured lessons that focus on proper technique, movement, and understanding rather than simply trying to "win." Questions are encouraged, progress happens at your own pace, and students receive coaching that helps them build confidence from the very first class.
For experienced practitioners, the class provides another opportunity to refine techniques, improve timing, and continue developing alongside other dedicated women. Because all skill levels are welcome, newer students can learn from more experienced training partners while advanced students continue sharpening the fundamentals that make great Jiu Jitsu possible.
No matter your age, fitness level, or previous athletic background, you'll find a place to learn and grow.
