Empowering women goes far beyond the mats. It’s about connection, confidence, and community—moments like this remind us how strong we are when we show up for each other.

We had so much fun bonding, painting, and enjoying some well-deserved treats. Already looking forward to the next one! 💕🎨🥐

On November 12th, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Pasadena stepped into something special.
We were invited to be a vendor at the Dodgers Employee Expo on the suite level at Dodger Stadium, and we had the honor of teaching Gracie Jiu-Jitsu from our own suite — Suite 215. Getting to share real self-defense out of a space normally reserved for corporate leaders and VIPs made the whole experience feel surreal in the best way. ⚾️🔥

We spent the day teaching practical, beginner-friendly self-defense to the employees, staff, and corporate officers of the back-to-back World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Because our programs are designed for total beginners, everyone jumped right in, had a blast, and walked away with real skills they can use—no experience needed, just curiosity and courage.

A huge thank you to our friend Sue at Nishati Physical Therapy for the referral and for believing in what we do. Opportunities like this remind us how far Jiu-Jitsu can take you when you stay committed to the mission: empower everyday people with confidence, capability, and community.

Teaching inside one of the most iconic stadiums in the world, surrounded by our amazing GJJP team, was an honor we won’t forget. We’re grateful for every moment.

To the entire Dodgers organization:
Thank you for having us.
Congratulations on another incredible year.
And yes… we’ll see you next year. 💙🤍

🚨 GRACIE COMBATIVES 101 SEMINAR - SUNDAY, MAY 18 🚨

Do you know how to defend yourself? 💥🥋

We train in case we ever need to use it. Unlike sport Jiu-Jitsu, which is designed for tournaments, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is built for real-world self-defense. If an untrained attacker comes at you, will you know what to do?

🛑 This seminar is for first-time practitioners and beginners only!

No experience? GOOD! This is an introductory seminar focused on self-defense. There will be no sparring, no rolling, and this is not an open mat. You’ll learn fundamental techniques from the Gracie Combatives 2.0 program in a safe, structured, and collaborative environment.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ Control the Distance & Defend Punches
✅ Understand the Punch Power Scale
✅ Street Fight Psychology
✅ Predict & React to Untrained Opponents
✅ Escape the Worst Position in a Fight
✅ Take the Fight Safely to the Ground
✅ Negotiation

Hosted by: Gilbert Raposa (Black Belt, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu) & Fred Joaquin (Brown Belt, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu) under Ryron and Rener Gracie.

💡 This is a co-ed seminar for participants ages 14 and above. You’ll be active, but the seminar is not strenuous. Our focus is on technique, awareness, and strategy.

🚨 SPACE IS LIMITED! MUST RESERVE YOUR SPOT TO ATTEND.
