Last Saturday, 10th Planet Poway hosted a Women’s Self-Defense Jiu Jitsu Seminar ran by 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, Dawna Gonzales.
The seminar provided attendees with a valuable introduction to Jiu Jitsu, while also being a lot of fun. In addition, the seminar included 10th Planet Poway’s head instructor, Kevin Berbrich. Kevin is a seasoned Jiu Jitsu practitioner, and it was awesome having a male training partner to simulate real-life scenarios.
What We Learned
The seminar was designed to teach women how to defend themselves in various situations using Jiu Jitsu techniques.
Dawna Gonzales led the seminar, and we all learned a lot from her. She taught us how to execute different techniques, such as grip breaks, choke defense, and escapes. The techniques were easy to follow and Dawna provided clear instructions on how to execute each move. She also explained the theory behind each technique and when it should be used.
One of the highlights of the seminar was having Kevin Berbrich there to help out. Kevin is a very experienced Jiu Jitsu practitioner with years of training, and he was able to provide additional insights and advice to the Women in attendance. He offered guidance and feedback, and was a valuable addition to the seminar.
Another unique aspect of the seminar was having a large male training partner to simulate real-life scenarios. This was especially important, as many self-defense situations involve a larger and stronger attacker.
The Fun Side Of Jiu Jitsu
In addition to being educational, the seminar was also a lot of fun! Jiu Jitsu is a social activity that requires partners, so attendees had the opportunity to work with each other, make new friends, and build a sense of community. We will put out some photos and videos soon!
