Train with Comfort and Confidence in Our Women's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes
Every woman deserves to feel safe, confident, and empowered. At Shawn Hammonds Jiu Jitsu Academy, our Women's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program combines effective self-defense training with total-body conditioning in a supportive, women-only environment. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is known as "the great equalizer" because it teaches smaller individuals to overcome larger opponents through leverage and technique rather than brute strength – making it perfect for women's self-defense.
We understand that stepping into a martial arts environment can feel intimidating. That's why we've created a supportive, women-only space where you can train comfortably, learn at your own pace, and connect with other strong women on similar journeys across Nashville and South Nashville.
