WHY DO WE TEACH SELF-DEFENSE AND SELF-PROTECTION?
I recently met with my friend and business mentor. We brainstormed as to how to improve our Self Defense / Self Protection program. We recognized that we needed to tie self-defense classes with domestic violence work. As military veterans and coaches, we are BIG on safety. Our long discussion was about the fundamental nature of teaching women self-defense in response to domestic violence.
Generally, most Self Defense / Self Protection classes center around the bad guy jumping out of the bushes. Stranger sexual assault does happen, but according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, in eight out of 10 cases of r**e, the victim knew the person who sexually assaulted them. The existence of a “relationship” could make the utilization of self-defense more complicated and confusing, which was never acknowledged.
We certainly believe that every instructor of this course genuinely desires to help women to be safe. But, when the idea of Self-Defense / Self Protection classes is framed as “reducing the number of assaults,” it can be seen that it is a woman’s responsibility to fight off an assailant and defend herself, which is unintentionally victim-blaming. Assaults happen because of assaulters. We will reduce the number of assaults when we hold offenders accountable and make it truly shameful to use violence against another.
It needs to be said that even if a woman utilizes Self-Defense / Self Protection, does not use a technique correctly, or doesn’t use self-defense at all, an assault is still not her fault. That is victim shaming. Abuse is ALWAYS the fault of the perpetrator. We will teach you how to recognize and ascertain which course of action to use.
Self-defense classes are structured around the trauma response of “fight,” but unfortunately, we do not always get to choose how our brain will respond during an assault. Fight, flight, AND freeze are all-natural and normal responses to a traumatic event. And sometimes freezing and flight-ing are the safest ways for someone to survive violence. Again, We will teach you how to recognize and ascertain which course of action to use.
Another topic covered was the escalation of violence. Therefore, utilizing a self-defense technique might keep you unharmed for a moment but could very likely cause the abuser to escalate to more severe violence and put you in grave danger during this event or in the future. Again, We will teach you how to recognize and ascertain which course of action to use.
We also know that abusers are master manipulators. Although you might be physically safe after defending yourself from an attacker if the police are involved, women are sometimes arrested as the primary aggressor (he has marks, she doesn’t, etc.). In family court, it can be stated that there was “mutual abuse” or she was “just as violent” as he is. In domestic violence, the trauma does not end with one abusive incident; the consequences of her response can be held against her for years to come.
Throughout the program, you will be told over and over to be aware of your surroundings, how you walk, how you park your car or take public transportation, how you get into an elevator, what clothes you wear, how you exist in this world. What I wished would be acknowledged was that this is exhausting. Women should be able to move through this world as safely as most men can, and we cannot. And it is UNFAIR.
We will also cover weapons in self-defense and the concepts of employing various weapons. Everything from a pencil to a firearm.
What we know about biology is that during a sexual assault, a victim can experience an or**sm. This idea can be very confusing for the victim. This does not mean she wanted to be assaulted or that she enjoyed it; she, again, cannot fight biology. Statements like this can cause a lot of confusion around if the incident was consensual or not r**e.
We, also, have to consider race when talking about self-defense. Unfortunately, we know that not all survivors of domestic violence are treated the same by the criminal justice system. When safety planning with clients, we have to talk about the intersection of race and the police or courts. A woman of color who uses self-defense against their abuser is more likely to be perceived as the predominant aggressor and is less likely to be believed by some police officers to be the victim. If she is arrested, she is more likely to be charged with assault and for that to be on her permanent record. This charge (even if dropped) can be used against her in protective order hearings or in family court in divorce or custody cases. It is not fair that survivors of color not only have to think about their immediate safety but what ramifications can come of their actions, but they do. All the time.
Training in martial arts, combat, or self-defense is not automatic protection from experiencing assault or abuse. HOWEVER, knowing how to defend yourself gives you a tactical advantage, gives you the chance to escape and live another day.
The bravest and most courageous thing I witnessed in the class this week came from a female student. While we were all on the mat ready to practice chokes for the last time, she told us that she did not want to participate in the final exercise. We all tried to change her mind and convince her to practice. But she stood her ground. All week the instructors had been telling them, “Use your voice. Use your voice. It is your strongest weapon.” And here she was. Setting a boundary and speaking up for her needs. I was bursting with pride. Defending oneself is not always straightforward. It’s usually incredibly complex. We all need to learn how to respond to and respect someone’s “no.” That is how we genuinely reduce violence.
This is for all of you men, women, and children, but especially for all women who are in some way concerned about the situations that are happening and may feel that they are stuck with no option to prevent these types of confrontations. As I mentioned at the beginning, these situations that you will see in this video can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, age or race.
These techniques are fundamental knowledge, these situations can happen in other ways or with 2 or more people, but you have to start with the basics. If we don't learn the fundamentals, we won't be able to cope with more difficult situations.
Understand that perhaps you are saying; "With a kick in the groins is enough." That may be right, or it can make the situation worse. It is for this reason that martial arts play a key role in facing these situations calmly, in a correct and psychological way if necessary.
Any doubt or question, you can leave it below in the comments.
Remember, evil does not respect your opinions or thoughts. It must be fought with prevention.

Making My Case For Why Every Woman and Man Should Learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
You step onto the mat before approaching the centre. This isn’t a gym. It’s your sanctuary. One where you’re immune to all concerns of the outside world – even if it’s just for a few hours.
At the other end stands someone virtually identical to you from a physical standpoint. But physicality isn’t how you’ll win this fight. It’s about what you remember when s**t gets real. Slap hands. Bump fists. Begin.
An arm reaches out for your collar, another finds a home on your sleeve. You respond in kind, forgetting the crucial step of breaking grips first. Deadlock. You pivot outwards, hoping to advance, manoeuvre around, and gain an underhook. Stiff armed, no such luck.
Pulling guard is still an option, but honestly… f**k that. That ego will cost you soon, though not as much as your lapse of concentration. You find the other guy’s leg positioned perfectly across your own. In a mere microsecond, everything below your neck crescents in a beautiful arc upwards and then back down towards the earth as you wonder, “Huh… has the ceiling always looked like that?”. Taken down. At this point, you’re once again stuck in side control praying to Mitsuyo Maeda that your frames will hold.
But it doesn’t matter. Because in that moment of airborne surrender, you realise something more profound. Win, lose – this moment is infinite. This moment will become a valuable lesson. Really, in this very moment, the only thing that’s important is remembering to tuck your chin in, throwing your arms out to displace the force, and landing safely.
This is it. Look no further. The answer to every problem in your life right now. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: the applied art of perspective and ego killing.
If voluntarily simulating death is part of your day, the rest of life will sure as hell be easier
BJJ has often been characterised in various ways. Having your laundry folded while still wearing the clothes. Involuntary yoga. Body chess. But I think my favourite one – and the most accurate of all comparisons – is trying to solve an 225 pound Rubik’s Cube while it’s actively trying to kill you. And for many, this will ring true.
BJJ is essentially a voluntary form of simulating death, which surprisingly holds multiple benefits. For one, you end up with incredible cardio and improved muscle endurance. The benefits with the most day-to-day utility, however, is how it affects your internal psychology. Here’s what I mean…
At its core, a roll (or spar) is a game of live-action problem solving with pretty linear consequences. If you grab across the body and turn your shoulders just a little too far, you expose your back and may end up having to defend your neck. If you’ve taken someone’s back and opt to cross your feet instead of engaging the standard textbook hooks, you’ll soon find the tables turned in an instant as your ankles are cranked for a mean one. Forcing yourself to routinely deal with these difficult scenarios and seeking escapes/solutions/contingency plans on the fly will prepare you for any other would-be difficult scenarios in life.
Better yet, in terms of morning classes – if the first thing you do when you wake up is try and stop a larger dude from choking you, the rest of the day will surely be a cakewalk. Mental resilience like no other. That’s what awaits you.
It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in wartime
Now, onto the more obvious reason to learn the gentle art. Self-defense. There’s still much debate regarding the efficacy of certain disciplines in a street fight. Make no mistake – BJJ definitely has a place out there in the wild. Although speaking as a former muay Thai practitioner, it wouldn’t hurt to have some striking game down pat, either. Especially when engaging multiple assailants. You can’t exactly grapple multiple assailants as effectively as peppering some shots in an evenly distributed radius while manoeuvering away to your escape. But it’s like they always say, the best fights are often the ones that need not be fought. Kill the ego. Walk away. Move on.
BJJ is the grand equalizer when facing larger, stronger, and sometimes even faster opponents. With striking, the stronger and faster will obviously have an advantage. Perhaps these opponents may even train to be faster and stronger. The things no one can ever out-train? The way a human wrist can break. The way human joints can bend. And the automatic shutdown response of the human body when it’s being blood choked.
Again, this is more about preparedness than a Dragon Ball Z comparison of combat levels. You spend a lifetime training for a situation that you hope will never eventuate. The security of knowing you have at least some semblance of ability to hold your own, however, is something you simply can’t put a price on.
Nothing else in life will ever feel so satisfying or well earned (and no community will ever compare)
I started training about 11 years ago and nothing in my 47 years of life, not landing my dream job, not even staying married – has even remotely come close to an average day on the mats. None of it. The satisfaction of giving it my all. Getting my ass kicked in a padded room, by sweaty people twice my size. And certainly not as satisfying as throwing my leg across someone’s face, prying that arm towards my torso, and sitting back to secure an armbar.
You can’t buy BJJ.
You can’t counterfeit BJJ.
You can’t pour it on tap.
Rich, poor. Athletic, sickly. BJJ doesn’t give a damn who you are. Every single molecule is earned the same as the next guy. With no quarter asked, and seldom any given. Those six-minute rounds are about as close to a perfect democracy as anything in this world. Because you have no currency aside from the skills you have honed across a long and storied journey to the middle. As a happy consequence, you’ll also find a second family in the people you take this journey with. A family tied to you by blood, sweat, and an internationally understood code recognised all around the world.
And despite all the inflamed joints, all the pressure bruises, the threats of bursitis, and the burgeoning cauliflower ear… you wouldn’t trade it for a f**king thing in this world.
Case closed. See you on the mats.

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Really Life-Changing?
There’s a motivational quote that goes something like this: “If you hang out with 4 broke people, you’re bound to be the fifth.” It’s a testament to the importance of surrounding yourself with positive, motivated, successful people; because even doing that alone will increase your odds of success. You may have heard the saying, “attitudes are contagious.” It’s true.
Most people seek out a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) school to learn realistic self-defense and/or get in shape. Others have heard about how fun it is from a friend or family member. But, if they find the right BJJ academy- one that has a community of people who truly want their teammates to succeed, one like Paramount BJJ- what they don’t realize until later is that they’ve automatically increased their chances of improving all aspects of their life.
The majority of BJJ students are goal-oriented people, the type of people who set an objective and work steadily towards achieving it.
And if they’re at a high-quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school they’ll have the step-by-step guidance of a head instructor, along with assistant instructors, and a system of learning the techniques and concepts in a simple fashion. Add to that a culture of cooperation and mutual progress and you’ve got a formula for success.
All of this makes it much easier for you to reach those initial goals, and to discover that you’re actually capable of doing much more than you thought. Many of our students have had to set and reset goals because they continued to reach them one after another. This compounds the increase in confidence and shows the person they can push the boundaries of their limitations.
But it goes beyond the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy. The boost in confidence that BJJ students get shows them that they can tackle challenges in the “real world” as well. We hear it time and time again, students commenting on the sense of clarity and peace of mind that they feel after a class. They feel energized and ready to take on anything.
Students often talk about the improvements they’ve seen in their relationships, with their significant other, and/or with their children. They are happier, they feel better about themselves, and thus more giving and more fun to be around. Many times their spouse and/or children end up joining too and also experience all of the benefits that come from BJJ training.
It’s common to hear people say, “Jiu-Jitsu will change your life,” and a statement like that often gets chalked up to the hyperbole. It’s easy to wonder how much it could actually change your life. But the examples above serve as proof. Think about it, most of our lifelong friends are people we met when we were kids, or in school. It’s a rare and special thing to meet someone new in your 30’s and then become great friends.
So can BJJ change your life? Obviously! It will increase confidence, increase your physical conditioning and your discipline, help with stress relief, and introduce you to friendly, goal-oriented, motivated people. On top of all that, it will do what you originally set out to accomplish: It will show you how to use leverage and technique to overcome size and strength.
I want to make note of one thing when it comes to confidence: just about every martial arts discipline promotes confidence. But some of them are based solely on their "theory of what is effective" and cannot be practiced at full speed with your training partner. These styles typically have either one person mimicking an attacker and not offering any realistic resistance or a ton of restrictions for sparring.
So you end up with confidence, but it's a false sense of confidence. If you were thrown into a real situation, whether being attacked or an actual fistfight, you may remember what to do but would you be able to pull it off in your very first experience against full force? You won't know unless it happens- it's a gamble.
With Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu you and your training partners can go full speed, using 100% resistance, because BJJ is all about controlling and restraining your attacker or opponent. That's why BJJ is the number one martial art taught by the US military and Law Enforcement. That alone should be enough to convince you to train.
Whatever your reason to start training is, you're sure to gain many more benefits than you expected to, and when you look back at the decision to start BJJ you'll be glad you did it.
Come see us.

5 Reasons to Train Jiu-Jitsu
First, let's start by acknowledging there are a lot more than 5 reasons to train jiu-jitsu. But if we listed every reason why you should train, we would end up with a list that was way too long to read. We're also writing this list with beginners in mind. So with that out of the way, keep reading for our (top) 5 reasons to train jiu-jitsu.
1. GET IN SHAPE / STAY IN SHAPE
BJJ is a physical sport. From drilling to training, it requires a significant amount of energy. For those looking to shed a few pounds or those that just want to stay in shape, BJJ is one of the best martial arts you can train. Rolling (also known as randori) can be done at different intensity levels and rounds can typically be taken off if a break is needed. For those that are still working their way back into shape, being able to adjust the level of their training intensity is a great way to ease back into fitness.
2. SELF DEFENSE
This may be stating the obvious, but learning BJJ means you're also learning how to defend yourself. It's a skill set that most of us hope we never have to use in a real-world situation, but it's still an important skill set to know. The truth of the matter is most people have little to no idea how to fight or defend themselves properly. Learning jiu-jitsu, even at a fundamental level, will give you tools you can use to protect yourself in a physical altercation.
3. GET COMFORTABLE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE / BUILDS CONFIDENCE
For most people starting BJJ, grabbing hold of another person and trying to choke them out or put them in a submission does not come naturally. It takes a while to get used to training, to get used to the feeling of being crushed by an opponent or the struggle to breathe while someone is trying to choke you. BJJ puts you in physical positions that are extremely uncomfortable. Over time, however, you get used to being uncomfortable. You learn to remain calm, learn not to panic, and learn how to think clearly under pressure. These lessons can be applied in real-life situations. It's important to remain calm in jiu-jitsu and in non jiu jitsu situations that may cause others around you to panic. Along the same lines, BJJ builds confidence, not only in your abilities to train BJJ but confidence in general that can be applied to other facets of your life.
4. MAKE CONNECTIONS
One of the amazing things about jiu jitsu is the camaraderie you will find on the mats. Train long enough and you will end up building relationships with people of all ages, colors, and from all walks of life. The mats truly are a melting pot and it is true that anyone can learn jiu jitsu. Most find that the connections they make on the mats often carry over to life off that mats. Once you start training, you immediately become part of a jiu jitsu community that is overwhelmingly positive and supportive.
5. LEARN SOMETHING NEW
Jiu-jitsu is different than many other physical activities in that there is a huge mental component. When you train, you're not only sharpening your physical abilities but your mental abilities as well. You may have heard others refer to jiu-jitsu as human chess. This is because you need to think several steps ahead when you move so that you are moving with purpose. There are chaining attacks, counter-attacks, and counter-attacks to counter attacks. There are setups and traps, and you never stop learning techniques and maneuvers that are as mental as they are physical. It's one of the reasons jiu-jitsu is such a fascinating and interesting martial art to learn.

4 Reasons Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Is One Of The Best Martial Arts For Kids
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an amazing sport. And Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for kids is extremely popular among kids of all ages. If you’re a parent in Singapore and you’re considering enrolling your child in a BJJ class, know that it is one of the best martial arts for kids. Head on over to your nearest BJJ gym and you’ll see why that is evident.
BJJ is a study of the grappling arts. It involves no striking elements and instead features a variety of joint locks and submission techniques to subdue opponents or immobilize them. It’s a great martial art for neutralizing threats in a quick, efficient, and low-risk manner.
It will empower your children with the knowledge of self-defense, and give them a responsibility to protect themselves and those around them. It’s also a great physical fitness option that will bring out the best in their abilities.
But more than just a discipline of fighting, BJJ is a way of life. It is an art form steeped in principles such as honor, respect, and camaraderie. It’s perfect for your kids to start BJJ training while young because they will learn many lessons that will help them later on in life.
Today, we share four reasons why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the best martial arts for kids.
1) Self-defence
Giving your kids the knowledge of self-defense is very important in modern times. Self-defense is a skill that everyone should have access to, and it’s one that you should teach your kids early. Give the gift of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to your children and they will learn how to use their skills responsibly in protecting themselves and others.
BJJ is a martial art that is focused on proper technique, using leverage, and ex*****on. It will give your kids the ability to physically defend themselves even against bigger or stronger opponents.
The grappling arts have proven very effective in one-on-one combat, and it has a significant advantage compared to striking martial arts. BJJ, in particular, is highly effective in de-escalating tense situations.
We may not fully understand it, but our children are at risk of bullying, especially in situations when we aren’t watching. Whether in school or on the playground, self-defense skills are necessary. Having the knowledge of self-defense also boosts our children’s confidence.
2) Physical fitness
There is no question that physical fitness is so important these days. And that doesn’t just mean for us, but for our children too. Having good physical health and well-being will boost our immune system, not to mention improve all aspects of our daily lives.
BJJ training, just like any other martial arts discipline, will get you in the best shape of your life. For our children, it will help give them an outlet to dispense all of their pent-up energy and help keep them fit and healthy.
Practitioners of this discipline will attest to the fact that the different BJJ drills target specific areas of the body. Constant training will improve strength, increase agility and explosiveness, and provide good endurance, among many other physical benefits. The best part is, you don’t need to be particularly athletic just to start training. You’ll get stronger as you go along.
A lot of children deal with obesity and issues with their body image. BJJ training can help correct those issues and allow kids to feel comfortable in their own skin.
3) It’s a lot of fun
One of the aspects of BJJ training your children will appreciate is the fact that it’s just so much fun. Practitioners of the grappling arts genuinely enjoy themselves while training and learning on the mats. And it’s not just fun for certain people, it’s fun for all.
Boys, girls, whether young or old, enjoy studying BJJ’s many techniques. They have fun training with their gym mates as they build strong friendships based on trust and respect. Training in a class setting is one thing your kids will surely appreciate. Students can help each other with techniques and progress through the levels together.
Your kids will love to participate in the different kinds of drills, rolling sessions, and even sparring. While BJJ training is most certainly a serious ordeal, it is also light and good-hearted at the same time.
The fact that training is so much fun is also what will keep your children hooked and eager to train constantly.
4) It’s in a safe environment
Every sport, whether basketball, football, or even martial arts, carries a level of risk. It is, after all, a physical activity. However, you can rest assured that BJJ training takes place in a safe and controlled environment.
Children learn many different physical skills like understanding how to break their fall and understand the range of motion in their joints and limbs. They also learn how to use leverage to escape from specific situations.
Training sessions are always supervised by qualified instructors. BJJ instructors carry years of experience at both the amateur and professional levels. The majority of instructors have reached the highest levels of success and have captured many world titles. But not only have they won the biggest prizes in the sport, but they’ve also made BJJ their way of life.
And that’s ultimately what instructors want to share with children. It’s that BJJ is a way of life, and can instill honor and integrity, respect, courage, and discipline, among other traits.
