Chattanooga Jiu-Jitsu Academy has come up with a unique set of training classes that are designed to help women learn this practical and effective martial art. Join the community to improve your fitness routine and learn more about effective self-defense techniques in a challenging yet safe environment.
Believe it or not, Jiu-Jitsu is the most beneficial form of non-violent self defense for children and teenagers. During these classes, a child can learn falling, takedowns, controls, and 'tap outs' among the older students. Unlike other martial arts, our daily classes do not incorporate any punching or kicking elements but focus primarily on grappling.
The main reason that women give for training in jiu-jitsu "this is how women can protect themselves". There are many reasons for learning jiu-jitsu, it's ideal for smaller and weaker opponents who need to dominate a large opponent using a technique in lieu of strength. As a woman in the U.S., there is an assault or a beating every nine seconds.

I've been training here regularly for about 7 months and I enjoy every class. I've seen people of all ages train here, from kids to seniors and every age in between (men and women), everyone is respectful and helpful, from the instructors to the students. There is something here for every skill level regardless of your athletic ability. From the hardcore to the casual. I wish I would have signed up sooner.

My husband and I visited Chattanooga JiuJitsu Academy while in town for Thanksgiving, and had a great experience. The instruction was very thoughtful and well-delivered, and Professor Mickey took the time to correct us and give us tips that were personally useful. Having dropped in to gyms all around the world, I can say that if I lived in the area, I would enjoy training here. When rolling at the end of the class, I had great partners—both men and women—who were interesting, technical, friendly, and respectful. Thanks for the great training!

Before I started training at CJJA I asked some advice from a friend and he said make sure the main instructor has trained with legit people. When you walk into the place you will see pictures of Mickey working with the Gracie Family. Mickey has created an amazing environment that promotes longevity in his students. Recently on a random Tuesday night we had 3 black belts walking around giving tips and correcting technique. You can find gyms that don't have A black belt period. CJJA is a place where anyone can train and expect to be treated with a sense of respect and friendliness. Also, no one there

This school focuses on techniques that are applicable to real world street survival. The staff is friendly and work great with my kids. They teach techniques for defusing confrontations and bullying in school. It's also great for them to have the opportunity to learn from an instructor who's studied under the family who pioneered Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the Gracies.
