Free Bully Proof Taining
In the Gracie Bullyproof program, our goal is to instill your child with unshakable confidence so they can overcome bullies without violence.
We will teach your child to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and several non-violent self-defense techniques to stay safe if physically assaulted.
Most importantly, we don’t teach how to punch or kick, since this often does more harm than good. Instead, we use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats without violence.
Parents are welcome (but not required) to join their children in this class.

Did you know:
Whether you are a seasoned work out veteran or haven't stepped into a gym in years, everything we do is adaptable to your level.
Our instructors will help you get the workout you need.
- Exercise can reduce depression, anxiety, and stress by releasing 'feel good' chemicals such as endorphins and dopamine while reducing the stress causing cortisol.
- Even low intensity exercise increases self esteem through overcoming challenges in the workouts and creates a sense of accomplishment.
- Group fitness classes can create a sense of community with social connections and reduce feelings of isolation - it's a great way to meet new people.

FREE WOMEN EMPOWERSED SESSION
We welcome special guest instructor from Gracie Jiu Jitsu Saskatoon, Crystal Greenwood!! Crystal is Saskatchewan's only Gracie Women Empowered certified instructor.
Unlike most self-defense systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in the Women Empowered program employ leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger opponents.
Beyond the physical techniques, Women Empowered also reinforces awareness principles, risk assessment, and verbal and psychological strategies a woman can use to set safe boundaries with others – even if the perpetrator is someone she knows. At the core of this mindset is the belief that we are worth defending!
