Gracie Barra Encinitas Women's Self Defense

04/07/2026

🚨 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Parents, this is something you can't afford to miss.

Sunday, April 19 at 1 PM, the SD Human Trafficking Task Force is joining us again for a powerful, eye-opening seminar focused on what's really happening inside EVERY San Diego high school

🚨🚨 We have a teen survivor who is going to share her story - this is part of her healing with the hopes that no other child will experience what she did🚨🚨

The truth is unsettling:
Over 95% of students have been exposed to or approached about trafficking

Nearly 90% of high schools have reported cases connected to students

100% of schools report active recruitment-students being targeted, groomed, and exploited
This isn't about strangers in dark alleys.

It's happening between students. On campuses. Online. In everyday spaces.

Do you know the warning signs?
Would you recognize the red flags if it involved your child?

Free community event! Share with your friends, family, neighbors. Kids are welcome. It truly takes a village to empower one another on the truth and dangers happening within our community - please share!

Summer is here! Come join us for Women's Only Self Defense and Jiu Jitsu every Tuesday and Thursday.

We have 2 classes available for Women Only and Co-Ed classes everyday.

Self Defense Street Scenarios: This class focuses on self defense techniques for situations that happen on the streets. Would you know what to do:

If someone was mounted on top of you and punching you?
Picked you up from behind and trying to drag you into a car?
You are at a bar and someone grabs you by the wrist or pulls you in too close, what would you do?

All Women Jiu Jitsu Class: Jiu-jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques, allowing a smaller person to defend against a larger opponent by using leverage and technique.

When we come together we can accomplish amazing things ♥️ Congratulations to our Warriors 🎊

Professor Carla said it best…“ Yesterday, as you saw in the stories, for the first time, Gracie Barra Encinitas took first place in the women's division.

There were 10 warriors who felt confident in competing and signed up, and before they even stepped onto the mat, they were already champions.

They shone, inspired and made me cry with happiness and emotion.

No one wins alone. When you get on the podium, there are many people who get on with you. A whole team behind you, who encouraged, supported, trained and experienced all the preparation for the big day.

Yesterday, the 10 ladies got on the podium and gave it their all. Very proud of these girls, and of all our girls who helped and supported us…”
