At Ground Control Palm Beach, our Women’s Jiu-Jitsu classes offer a welcoming and empowering space for women to develop their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) skills. Whether you’re interested in fitness, self-defense, or building confidence, our program is designed to help women of all experience levels. With a focus on technique, personal growth, and camaraderie, Women’s Jiu-Jitsu at Ground Control provides a unique opportunity to unlock physical and mental benefits through martial arts.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art designed for smaller individuals to overcome larger, stronger opponents using leverage, technique, and positioning. This makes it a highly effective form of self-defense for women, teaching you how to efficiently neutralize potential threats without relying on size or brute strength. But the benefits don’t stop at self-defense. Women’s Jiu-Jitsu builds self-confidence, mental toughness, and discipline—all within a supportive and empowering environment.
Led by Michelle Day, a BJJ brown belt with a background in Trauma-Informed Care, our Women’s Jiu-Jitsu classes address the specific challenges women might face, from size and strength disparities to issues related to safety and personal boundaries. Michelle fosters an inclusive, positive atmosphere where women can learn martial arts and grow emotionally and mentally alongside a community of like-minded peers.
Our Women’s Jiu-Jitsu classes follow the same structured curriculum as our regular BJJ classes, with extra attention paid to women’s challenges in martial arts. Whether you’re entirely new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or you’ve been on the mats for a while, you’ll feel at home in this class. We start with a warmup that prepares your body for training and improves your overall fitness. These warmups focus on cardio, flexibility, and building important functional strength on and off the mats.
From there, the class moves into drills and one-on-one grappling, known as “rolling.” These exercises teach you how to use leverage and technique to your advantage, regardless of your opponent’s size or strength. Rolling allows you to apply the techniques you’ve learned in real-life situations, helping you to sharpen your skills and build physical endurance. Plus, grappling with your training partners is a fun and engaging way to test yourself and grow your confidence.
The best part? Women’s Jiu-Jitsu classes provide a space where you can train with other women who support and motivate each other. This positive environment helps you build trust, not just in your training partners but also in yourself. The techniques you master in Women’s Jiu-Jitsu will also equip you with the confidence to join co-ed classes or participate in local competitions.
In addition to self-defense skills, Women’s Jiu-Jitsu offers fantastic fitness benefits. Each class provides a total-body workout, helping you improve your cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility. From the warmup drills to rolling sessions, you’ll be engaging your entire body and pushing yourself in ways that make you physically and mentally stronger.
Beyond the physical, the confidence and mental fortitude you build through Jiu-Jitsu can profoundly impact other areas of your life. There’s something incredibly empowering about knowing you have the skills to defend yourself. This newfound confidence extends into daily life, whether it’s at work, in social settings, or in personal challenges. Ground Control Palm Beach offers an environment where women can push past their comfort zones in a safe, supportive atmosphere.
And let’s not forget: Jiu-Jitsu is fun! The strategic, puzzle-like nature of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu makes every class exciting and different. Whether mastering a new technique, rolling with a training partner, or just working up a sweat during the drills, you’ll leave each class feeling accomplished and ready to return for more.
While our Women’s Jiu-Jitsu class is tailored specifically for female students, we also offer a variety of co-ed classes, including MMA, Boxing, and Muay Thai Kickboxing. These co-ed classes allow you to expand your martial arts training and challenge yourself in new ways. Suppose you’re looking for a more personalized experience.
