Self Defense
At Leongolden Gracie, we believe that self-defense should prepare you for the real world, not just the mats. Our Real-Life Self-Defense Program is a no-gi class that combines the core principles of Jiu Jitsu with practical techniques from other martial arts, focusing on realistic scenarios and problem-solving under pressure.
