Jiu-Jitsu for Moms: How Training Can Help You Recharge, Refocus, and Defend Yourself

By Coach Jessica Affolter • May 16, 2025
Motherhood is powerful, but let’s be honest, it can also be exhausting. Between managing schedules, juggling work and family responsibilities, and constantly putting others first, many women find themselves stretched thin and searching for a way to reconnect with their own strength, energy, and identity. That’s where Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes in.  At Gracie Barra Greensboro, we’ve seen firsthand how Jiu-Jitsu transforms the lives of women, especially moms, from Greensboro, Summerfield, Oak Ridge, and High Point. It’s not just a workout. It’s a form of empowerment, a source of stress relief, and a life skill that stays with you.

How Jiu-Jitsu Classes Can Help You Stay Safe in Real-World Situations

By Prof. Lucas Nabuco • May 16, 2025
When people think of self-defense, they often picture a one-time seminar or a few basic moves. But real confidence and preparedness don’t come from a single class, they come from consistent training and mindset development. That’s exactly what Brazilian Jiu Jitsu offers. At Gracie Barra Greensboro, we believe that Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art. It’s a life skill, one that empowers everyday people, including professionals, parents, and even law enforcement officers, to stay calm, capable, and in control when it matters most.  Whether you’re from Greensboro, Summerfield, Oak Ridge, or High Point, if you’re looking to get in shape, relieve stress, and learn how to defend yourself effectively, it might be time to give Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a serious look.

By Prof. Lucas Nabuco • May 16, 2025
Are you in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond and looking for a workout that actually excites you to show up and makes you feel amazing afterward? Whether you're trying to burn fat, manage stress, or just meet new people in a friendly place, it might be time to rethink what a "workout" even means. As Head Professor at Gracie Barra Greensboro, Lucas Nabuco says: “I’m always talking to adults from all walks of life, people from Greensboro, Summerfield, Oak Ridge and High Point, who’ve tried the gym route and are ready for something different. That’s where Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes in.”  Let’s break down how Brazilian Jiu Jitsu stacks up against the traditional gym workout, and why so many people over 30 are choosing the mats instead of the machines.

How Much Does Jiu-Jitsu Training Cost at Gracie Barra Greensboro?

By Prof. Lucas Nabuco • May 16, 2025
When people start looking into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), one of the first questions that comes up is, “How much do Jiu Jitsu classes cost?” While that’s a natural question, we believe there’s a better one to ask: “What kind of value will I get from this investment?” At Gracie Barra Greensboro, your membership is more than just access to classes, it’s an invitation to transform your life. You’re not just learning a martial art; you’re building discipline, fitness, confidence, and friendships that can last a lifetime.
