Jennifer Gray 

Gym Manager/Certified Gracie Instructor/Certified Gracie Blue Belt

Sexual assault can happen to anyone, & I think it is very important for women to learn some form of self defense. My passion is to reach out to women to showthem jiu jitsu is not just a sport. It can save your life. It will empower you & give you confidence you can't find anywhere else. Gracie Jiu Jitsu was designed for a smaller, weaker opponent to defend against a much larger, stronger attacker. It does not matter how big or small you are, if you are being attacked, we can teach you how to get away safely, or destroy your attacker by using natural body movements based off leverage, not strength.
