Women’s Martial Arts Program

A Gracie Barra Introduction

Thanks to our convenient Dardenne Prairie location right off the 364 in St. Charles county, it has never been easier for women of O’Fallon, Lake Saint Louis and Wentzville to enjoy world class martial arts instruction just minutes from home.

Aside from all classes offered in the Adult Gracie Barra Program Structure, our school offers a set of classes designed to introduce women to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

As a martial art designed to allow the weaker to defeat the stronger, BJJ is a perfect fit for women who are interested in learning how to protect themselves, and who wouldn’t be, right?

Comprehensive Self-Defense

The Gracie Barra Women’s Program combines a comprehensive self-defense curriculum with emphasis on drills that simulate realistic attack and escape situations.

The techniques are complemented by a strong fitness component that is second to none compared to classes offered in regular gyms.

Classes are specially designed for women and social “get togethers” are added benefits to the ordinary GB activities and create a strong bond between the members of the “Gracie Barra Pink Team.”

“Girls compete against each other, but Women empower one another”

You will find a group of women, some of them wearing GB uniforms with pink trim, who are excited to be there and excited to have you there. The instructor will run several basic drills and after a few classes you will catch up with the rest of the group. Once you master the basics you will really enjoy the intensity of a class based on effective self-defense techniques and real life scenarios.
