“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”
– Harriet Beecher Stowe
We provide affordable Jiu Jitsu training for women in the Greater Seattle area
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit started by Prof. Solange Reyner, Take the Back BJJ & Self Defense holds women’s-only jiu jitsu classes every Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. (NoGi) and Friday at 5:30 p.m. (Gi) at Gracie Barra Kirkland. The cost is $10 per session, or $70 per month. Our aim is simple: to teach self defense to any woman, teen or young girl who wants to learn. Our coaches volunteer their time to teach.
