About the Course
At Cat5 Jiu-Jitsu Association, we are deeply committed to empowering women through practical, effective, and confidence-building self-defense training. Our Women’s Self-Defense Program is designed to help women of all ages and backgrounds feel strong, capable, and in control of their personal safety. By focusing on technique, leverage, and timing; rather than size or strength. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gives women the tools to defend themselves against larger, stronger opponents. Through consistent training, women develop not only physical skills but also a powerful sense of awareness, resilience, and mental clarity that extends far beyond the gym.
But the benefits don’t stop at self-defense. BJJ fosters a deep sense of confidence, body positivity, and personal empowerment. As women challenge themselves on the mats, they break through mental and physical barriers, proving their capability in real, measurable ways. The supportive community found in our affiliate academies helps build meaningful friendships, reduces stress, and promotes emotional well-being. At Cat5, we don’t just teach techniques; we cultivate strength, self-respect, and independence. Our goal is to help every woman feel prepared, protected, and empowered in all aspects of life.
