JTR Jujutsu's Women’s Self-Defense (WSD) program empowers members with combative skills and fitness training required to respond to physical violence. Our reality-based training provides strategies to employ practical, close-quarters counter-attacks and escape techniques. WSD members gain a presence of mind for situational awareness and safety through our education. Our instructors teach how-to to avoid being targeted as a primary prevention goal. The WSD member's training focuses on weaponizing the body and developing skills with small hand-held weapons.

The Women's Self-Defense program may use aspects of Combat jujutsu although self-defense is not a rank system; therefore no belt promotions are required to progress through our system. Class activities may include strikes in various positions or orientations (front, rear, standing, kneeling, or from the laying on the ground). This program is highly effective for women living in an urban environment that may be at an increased risk doing activities like running, nightlife, dating and traveling alone. Our self-defense tactics build confidence in that they can be applied to any moment or in any environment to ensure personal security and survival.

We welcome visitors in our training studio to participate in a trial WSD class. The class attire is our school "JTR" training T-shirt, ($20) and your personal choice of yoga or athletic pants (No martial arts attire worn). Jewelry is not permitted to reduce the risk of injury. Just come with an open mind ready to learn and train with women that share a "Warrior's Spirit." Promoting your physical and mental health is our top priority, so please be sure to communicate any potential health concerns or injuries to our lead instructor "Master Don" who is a doctor and professional health provider to ensure your safety and protection.
