Women’s 8 Week beginner Grappling Program – Judo, BJJ & Self Defence
Learn practical self defence, build real confidence and improve your fitness in a women-only beginner program at High Rollers Canberra. No experience needed.
Why learn grappling in our 8 week program?
- Learn practical, leverage-based self defence that works even against larger opponents, using core Judo and BJJ grappling concepts.
- Train in a women-only class where you can relax, ask questions and learn without feeling like you’re stepping into a male-dominated space.
- Build strength, cardio and mobility while developing mental resilience and confidence that carries over into everyday life.
How the program works
- 8 week course, 1 class per week at the same time each week, women only.
- Each session mixes technique, drills and controlled practice so you can safely apply what you learn.
- Set program price for the full 8 weeks, with limited early bird spots available.
Across the 8 weeks you’ll cover:
- Standing self defence basics: balance, posture, grip fighting and Judo-style takedowns.
- Ground survival: escapes, control positions and how to get back to your feet.
- Simple, high-percentage techniques designed for real-world situations, not just competition.
Why train at High Rollers Canberra?
High Rollers Canberra is a family-friendly academy focused on fitness, self defence and community, with experienced coaches in both Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Women’s classes are led or heavily supported by female coaches, so you’re learning from people who understand the realities women face and how to make training feel safe and empowering.
You’ll be training with other beginners in a supportive environment where ego is checked at the door and progress is measured by effort, not how “tough” you are.
Who this is perfect for
- Women who want practical self defence skills and a plan if something ever goes wrong.
- Complete beginners who have never done martial arts before and want a structured starting point.
- Women looking for a new way to get fit that isn’t another gym membership or running program.
