Women's Self-Defense | Ms. Defense

A Women’s Self-Defense Experience

Most people don’t think about personal safety—until life forces them to.

This experience is designed to change that.

You’ll learn real-world self-defense skills focused on awareness, prevention, and simple techniques you can actually use if you ever need them.

Led by a certified jiu-jitsu coach from the Carlson Gracie Central Coast Jiu-Jitsu team, you’ll also be introduced to practical escape and defense movements in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

No experience needed. Just a willingness to learn.
