GBF: Our Debut Women's Programme Wrapped!
After 8 great weeks, our first GBF programme has wrapped at Gracie Barra Harrogate. We’re so unbelievably proud of the women that showed up and discovered (or rediscovered) their love for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and we hope that they can take this away with them as they progress through their journey in the sport.
Consisting of 2 classes a week for 8 weeks, the coaching team witnessed enormous progress not only in jiu jitsu ability, but also, and most importantly, self confidence and enjoyment. The enthusiasm and commitment from those that attended was so great to see.
We understand that the idea of starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be a daunting one. This could be especially true if you’ve not done a martial art before, or if you don’t necessarily have a background level of fitness to start off with. The GBF programme offers an environment that welcomes any woman from any walk of life - it really is a sport for everyone! It provides a friendly, relaxed space to discover Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, before entering our GB1 curriculum. The feedback we’ve received from those that attended has been really positive…
GBF member Kelly said of her experience “After the GBF classes, I feel empowered. I have improved mood and energy. I’ve learned so much from doing these classes!”.
Fellow member Danielle said “I took the GBF class to feel more confident and gain some strength. There’s a really great social aspect, everyone’s really friendly and keeps you coming back each week. You leave with a clearer mindset than when you went in.”
With limited class sizes, each member benefits from tailored coaching and feedback. In the programme, we cover key self defence scenarios, as well as comprehensive introductions to fundamental Brazilian Jiu Jitsu positions and principles. Our experienced, friendly and highly qualified coaches are on hand every step of the way to guide each person through the techniques, with enjoyment and encouragement at the heart of everything we do.
