What You Learn in Class
You’ll learn practical skills, sharpen your awareness, and build on strength you may not know you have yet. Every technique is grounded in the same Valente Brothers Method taught throughout the academy — real self-defense, not choreography.
Defending Against a Larger, Stronger Attacker
This is exactly the problem jiu-jitsu was built to solve. You’ll learn to manage distance, avoid being pinned, and control someone heavier than you using position and leverage rather than raw strength.
Coaches walk you through these escapes hands-on, starting in your first free class.
A Supportive Training Environment for Women
Class is run as a women’s group, so your regular training partners are other women. It’s a space to learn practical skills, ask questions, and build confidence without feeling like the only woman in the room. Mixed classes are available later if you want them, supervised closely with clear etiquette throughout.
Our instructors are committed to equipping you with the knowledge and tools to navigate the world with confidence — to stand tall, speak up, and take control of your own safety.
Class Times and How to Join
Your first class is free. Comfortable workout clothes and a water bottle are all you need — arrive about ten minutes early, tie back long hair, and leave jewelry at home for safety.
We’ll walk you through everything else once you’re here.
