I am a survivor of domestic violence and Gracie Jiu Jitsu gave me the confidence to stand up for myself and learn how to protect myself so that I would never have to again. God bless Gracie Jiu Jitsu
Renny Stockholm I walked in and asked what classes did they offer. That was all I had to do because they took the lead from there they offered me a tour they were very personable with me and made me feel so welcome everyone smiled everyone said hi wanted to shake my hand asked me what my name was. It is a very friendly environment. You will feel like you know everyone instantly.
´the most feared position for a woman is the most powerfull position in BJJ´. i just love that saying.
Respect. Video gives me the feels.
Amazing. I've always been a fan of Martials Arts in general and strangely this video made me proud even though i never practised any JJ specifically.
It also put a tear in my eye, to think women feel the need to practice any form of self defence to defend themselves against the nasty people that exist out there, especially in the bed room.
Great video
Such a beautiful video!!!!! Thank you guys so much for sharing your art and philosophy in all that you do!
Tears welled up in my eyes. I have a wife and a daughter. Women need to learn this.
Amazing... Providing for the multitude of communication needs in self defense! This is in our family business plan and I'm so happy to see the alignment with Gracie perspectives. So happy my family is training your programs., even though we are new to the BJJ game.
We need that kind of training in Belgium (Europe). It's great to watch how the Ladies changed their postures during the training. Bravo !
That hit so hard in the feelings !!
Very nice video !
Fantastic work. The Gracie's are once again taking it to the next level in spreading jiu jitsu to those who need it. I have nothing but respect to the highest degree.
This is so moving. Such wonderful women.
Powerful stuff! Really great to see this production.
I'm a woman in Australia (Sydney) I need a women's program like this. It's all for kids and men here. There's no culture established for women's self defence. Especially for survivors of Sexual abuse or PTSD (mastering BJJ Gracie style, would make us feel truly safe? Something that was ripped from us) what you are doing is fantastic.
Right in the feels dude, right in the feeling feels ..
OLÁ Rener, I was watching this video on my smart TV but I couldn't comment there, so I grab my phone just to say thanks for sharing this beautiful video with the world. Nossa Preneira Dama Michelle Bolsonaro would be happy to see this video. Our brother Renzo may have Access to show her and may start some projects like this in Brazil. Big thanks for the Gracie Family for spread Jiu-Jitsu around the world. I'm Brazilian and teaching Arte Suave in NZ. Oss
truly a work of art , self defense at it's highest level
This was great.
this was amazing, thank you
Amazing
Very good that you teach people to defend themself! Any self defense system that not teach the Rear naked choke are not a real self defense system. Thank you.
I think it's cool how much excitement shines through in the post-seminar interviews where the participants are describing the experience. The woman at 6:17 talking about how it felt to flip someone larger is a great example. It really seemed like the seminar transformed the mindset of many of these women.
This is awesome..so, so important. This might be the most important course offered with respect to self defense.
In my school in Ireland we were the first white ribbons book in Ireland and it is against violence against women
Fantastic video guys. Having had a little BJJ and MMA training myself I always find myself recommending my female friends try it out, not just because I want them to be safe and able to defend themselves if need be, also because it's very fun and you meet a lot of cool chilled out people.
Keep up your good work!
Awesome, I love GJJ! Definitely had the feels.
who the hell would give this a thumbs down, unreal
My favorite story too this day is the one in the UK where a women who trained jiu jitsu was attacked and held down by a man trying to sexually assault her, and then she slapped a triangle on and put him out
This shit really does makes a difference, amazing.
beautiful job!
Powerful
The is so touching and amazing.
Amazing work shop! Keep up the great work!
beautiful job
This was amazing!
Respect.
Eventually attackers should add more physical and verbal pressure.
This is awesome
Awesome!
This shit had me in tears.
Another suggestion for self-defense training is to train in the clothes you wear every day.
This is wonderful for woman . And its definitely being taught by the best. No man should ever put hos hands on a woman but unfortunately times are crazy and its only getting worse. If you're reading this but never looked into self defense or bjj its never too late to get educated and the tools you need to defend yourself. Learn and pass it on .
This is amazing :')
fantastic
LOVE IT, GO GIRLS
Nice vid, might be an oppertunity for the Gracie boys to learn a little sign language.
Awesome
Being a part of the "deaf and hard of hearing" population and a 30 year veteran of Filipino Martial Arts, I'd like to see the citation that we are "150% more likely to become victims of violence, abuse and bullying."
Where does this statistic come from??
Otherwise, a well done video!
Probably from reports ? It's easy to understand attackers will choose what appears to be weaker preys, whether it's old people, disabled people ...
I hate violence against women. I break up cat fights. Guys dislike it, but too flippin bad!
Asl and Jiu-jitsu awesome
wow that woman went for a rubber guard on her first bjj class! impressive.
Hey, I have been watching your videos for several months now and am interested in joining this summer. Have you got a Gracie University located in Birmingham UK? And if so what are the conditions e.g. prices, clothing etc..
The biggest problem I see is the lack of awareness training. These women can't hear, but perhaps other senses (smell etc.) may be more highly developed. Another problem is the pure violence of an attacker. These women have not likely ever been hit or hurt, and had to continue to fight. I dd not see biting, eye-gouging, or groin grabbing. What about improvised or environmental weapons? I've had difficulty controlling large, strong males in guard, simply because of their girth and/or sheer strength. Constructive criticism...just saying.
My dream is to Roll with Eve Torres Gracie on the mats
Great video and message, but gosh damn it those pink belts drive me crazy. Pink belts are not BJJ.
Jason Downs
"What should offend me more? The belt color or the fact that self-defense training like this is very necessary in a large majority of the culture to which I belong?..."
Mean Old Lady I agree. Also, they are not training specifically to the belt system. This is a targeted seminar, versus years of training.
@Anthonycruzlbc Assaults on women don't happen like, "Pardon me ma'am, I'm about to rape you. By all means, prepare yourself and notice that I'm standing in front of you with my legs parted to accommodate your foot. Thank you." Usually by the time the woman realizes she is being assaulted she is already on the ground. How exactly do you kick someone in the groin when they are already on top controlling you I wonder? Let's keep this real bro. Keep in mind, a plan is a list of everything that will go wrong when the time comes. Your single item plan is a sure recipe for disaster.
good vid. but this is NOT the only method step by step in rape scenario.
Some of these deaf girls are really hot
150%.. how what... no this has to be a troll.. i hope
Don't like that the title is "responding to violence against women". needs to be "responding to sexual violence" or "responding to violence", gender should not be a subject in self defense regardless of any kind of statistics.
OSS
Men are the biggest victims of physical violence, are not immune to sexual assault, and can experience domestic abuse.
I think your message is gendered oriented and lost on the men and women who understand violence against any human being is inexcusable.
I'm starting to see Dojos, Gyms, Academies, and so forth begin sex discrimination already by providing discounts for women, women only classes, and women focused seminars.
The Gracies like to talk about inclusiveness but all I'm seeing in this is a small percentage (a tragedy nonetheless) of individuals assaulted and blowing these figures into irrational fears.
Is this an attempt at simply pulling in more women students or an actual attempt at preventing violence? Are the classes offered to these victims free or do they come with a dollar sign? Why is one gender focused on over the other? I guess boys and men are just the aggressors all the time and never the victims?
So much for building bridges and not burning them.
Alan Michael Just because there is a response to violence against women doesn't mean that violence against men is diminished. The fact remains that more men are physically capable and likely to take up training than women. Why knock down an attempt to draw in more women to teach them how to perhaps keep from becoming another statistic? Women are seen as weaker and weaker people are targeted. As are children. If you can provide someone with some skill and confidence, it can go a long way in helping THAT individual. The statistics are obviously based more on reported incidents and men are far less likely to report that they were beaten or made a victim of sexual violence due to societal influence if nothing else.
Is it discriminatory, technically. But so are most societies, even if it's just on a cultural basis or the norm. I feel like men are more likely to be concerned about holding their own in a fight because they're pressured to do so. More boys throughout school when I grew up talked about fighting and got into it. Being a man means being the strong one in U.S. culture (and plenty others).
I'm shit at articulating my point so all of this probably looks like BS, but I'm pretty much saying, in response to your question, why not both? Pulling in more female students as a means to prevent more violence by not only helping those students, but changing the norm of martial arts being a combat-oriented sport/practice for men. Just a means of appealing to another audience. Violence obviously doesn't care about gender, women hurt men and women, men hurt men and women. I guess I just don't see the point of arguing discrimination when the result is helping people. At least in this context. I kind of wish their were more shelters and havens for victims that weren't so determined to make it sound like they're only for women seeking refuge.
Sometimes a woman just needs her mouth slept well actually most of the time anyways
lies
First
Amazing
