What is the Women's Self-Defense Class? Women's KickAss Self-Defense class, led by Coaches Greg and Tori, consists of a combination of drills and techniques from Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Thai Kickboxing, as well as incorporates mental awareness. We cover verbal defense, mental/emotional defense and of course the physical techniques for self-defense. You'll find that the benefits of self-defense training will benefit you in other areas of life, not just when you are walking through a scary parking garage. Get ready for a great workout where you'll discover increased confidence, balance, and strength, while learning trustworthy techniques and skills for self-defense! Max H. says, "Greg, You may be interested to know that my daughter already has put what she learned to good use, as she proudly told me. I just wish we had a few more Saturdays under our belt. Thanks again. Max"

Instructors:Greg Bartman has been teaching Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Thai Kickboxing for over 15 years, with an emphasis on clear instruction and a unique understanding of his student's needs. He feels self-defense training should be accessible to anyone and recognizes not only the importance of self-defense for women, but also the unique concerns, experiences and expectations some women may bring with them to class. He works to create an open and supportive environment where any question can be asked and addressed. Greg is the top self-defense instructor in the area under Relson Gracie, the foremost authority on street defense based on Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.Tori Garten has been training with Greg since 2006 and co-teaches women's self-defense seminars and the Kid's Jiu-Jitsu and Self-defense class. She is the top ranked female self-defense Jiu-Jitsu instructor under Relson Gracie in the area. She feels every woman, regardless of age, strength or athletic ability should have the opportunity to learn to defend herself in a safe and welcoming environment. She understands the fears and concerns many women have and feels addressing those concerns in an open and supportive format lead to greater verbal, mental/emotional and physical self-defense skills for all students. If you are wondering whether or not you can do it - you can! The hardest part is walking through the door.
Both Greg and Tori have a strong interest in the practical application of self-defense, and recognize the positive impact that conquering physical and mental challenges can have on increasing a woman's self-confidence. Contact Us
