Women’s Program (Self-Defense Focus)
At Companhia Paulista de Jiu-Jitsu, we are proud to offer a specialized Women’s Program that focuses on self-defense, empowerment, and personal growth. With nearly 40 years of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, our program is designed to meet the specific needs of women, providing a safe, supportive, and professional environment where they can learn essential self-defense skills while also developing their Jiu-Jitsu techniques. Led by Mestre Waldomiro Perez Jr., this program empowers women to take control of their personal safety and well-being through effective training.
Comprehensive Self-Defense Training
The Women’s Program at Companhia Paulista emphasizes real-world self-defense techniques. These are designed to give women the confidence and skills to handle a variety of threatening situations. Using leverage, body mechanics, and technique rather than brute strength, women can defend themselves effectively against larger, stronger opponents. This program covers a range of self-defense scenarios, from defending against common street attacks to escaping various holds and controlling an aggressor on the ground.
Our instructors ensure that each participant learns in a controlled and safe setting, with a focus on precision and efficiency. This practical approach to self-defense enables women to protect themselves confidently in everyday life.
Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals for Women
In addition to self-defense, participants in the Women’s Program will also be introduced to the core principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you are completely new to martial arts or have previous experience, our program is structured to ensure that all students develop a strong foundation in the sport. You will learn techniques such as:
- Escaping from dominant positions
- Submissions like arm locks and chokes
- Guard control and sweeps
- Positional strategy for self-defense and sport
Classes are tailored to the abilities and goals of each participant, whether they are training for self-defense, fitness, or the love of Jiu-Jitsu. Over time, participants gain both confidence and technical proficiency, with opportunities to advance through the belt ranks, should they choose to pursue it.
All-Women Classes in a Safe, Professional Environment
One of the key benefits of our Women’s Program is the opportunity to train in an all-women environment. These classes foster a sense of community, camaraderie, and mutual support. Our instructors are dedicated to maintaining a professional, respectful, and empowering atmosphere, where women feel comfortable to push themselves without the fear of injury or discomfort.
Physical and Mental Benefits
Beyond self-defense and Jiu-Jitsu techniques, participants in the Women’s Program will enjoy numerous physical and mental benefits. The training improves cardiovascular health, strength, flexibility, and endurance. Jiu-Jitsu is also known to boost mental clarity, enhance decision-making skills, and reduce stress and anxiety, offering a holistic approach to personal development.
A Program Backed by Decades of Experience
Companhia Paulista is built on nearly four decades of excellence in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction. Mestre Waldomiro Perez Jr. has trained countless students and black belts who have gone on to become leaders and instructors worldwide.
