Self-Defense Classes at Five Rings Jiu Jitsu: Practical Skills for Real-World Confidence and Safety
At Five Rings, our specialized self defense classes in portland are designed to equip students of all ages with effective strategies to protect themselves in everyday situations. Our program is rooted in the world’s most proven grappling art: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We focus on practical, easy-to-learn Jiu Jitsu skills that build real confidence, situational awareness, and the ability to respond decisively under pressure.
We believe safety is a skill for the entire family. This core philosophy is the foundation of our entire academy. Our renowned kids jiu jitsu program, for example, is far more than just an after-school activity; it’s a character-building course that teaches children the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a fun, safe, and empowering way.
This same commitment to expert, safety-conscious instruction is what defines our adult self defense classes in Portland. Our ability to make these powerful techniques accessible to children proves our unique capacity to teach anyone, regardless of their age, size, or starting fitness level. So whether you’re a beginner, a woman looking for practical self-defense, or an experienced martial artist, our training provides the essential tools to stay safe, avoid confrontation, and defend yourself if necessary. It’s the cornerstone of what makes our jiu jitsu in Portland so effective for the real world.
Note: Self-defense training is not offered as a separate, stand-alone class. Instead, it is built into our Fundamentals Curriculum to ensure consistent exposure and practice. In addition, we host a dedicated self-defense training module twice a year for our members to further learn and reinforce essential self-defense skills, tactics, and principles.
