Trauma-Informed | Empowering | Supportive
Empowerment Starts Here
At Conifer Jiu-Jitsu, our trauma-informed Women’s Self-Defense Class is specifically designed to help women feel safer, stronger, and more confident—both on and off the mat. Led by a licensed clinical social worker, this class offers a uniquely supportive and understanding environment where your emotional well-being is just as important as your physical safety.
Using the principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), you’ll learn how to use technique over strength to defend yourself effectively, regardless of size or physical power. Through leverage, timing, and body mechanics, you’ll gain practical, real-world skills that can make a difference in critical moments.
Confidence Through Skill
Self-defense is more than just physical—it’s about building confidence and reclaiming your sense of control. As you progress, you’ll develop a strong foundation of self-assurance that can positively impact every aspect of your life.
Trauma-Informed & Supportive Instruction
Because the class is trauma-informed and led by a mental health professional, you’ll be learning in a space that is safe, compassionate, and responsive to the needs of survivors. We focus on choice, consent, and emotional safety, ensuring every participant feels respected and empowered throughout the training.
Develop Mental Toughness
BJJ teaches you to stay calm, think clearly, and respond strategically under pressure—key elements of mental resilience. You’ll gain tools to not only defend yourself, but also to navigate stress and adversity with strength and clarity.
Fitness Meets Practical Self-Defense
Improve your strength, flexibility, and endurance while learning valuable self-defense skills. Our classes provide a well-rounded workout that benefits both your body and your mind.
Heighten Your Awareness
Our training emphasizes situational awareness—helping you recognize, avoid, and respond to potential threats. From escaping holds to defending from the ground, you’ll build the skills and confidence to protect yourself effectively.
