Empowering Women Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Self-Defense
Clarksville, TN – In celebration of Women’s History Month, Renzo Gracie Clarksville (RGC) invites women and young ladies to embark on their journey of empowerment through martial arts. As part of our commitment to fostering a diverse and welcoming training environment, we are excited to announce two special events dedicated to women of all backgrounds and experience levels this March.
Women’s Only Open Mat – Saturday, March 1st
Kicking off the month, we are hosting our first-ever Women’s Only Open Mat on Saturday, March 1st, at 11:00 AM. This event welcomes all female Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students, regardless of affiliation, to join Coach Duvien and the dedicated women of RGC for an inspiring and collaborative training session. Open to women and young ladies ages 12 and up, this free event is a chance to train, connect, and strengthen the female martial arts community in the region.
Women’s Self-Defense Seminar – Saturday, March 15th

On Saturday, March 15th, RGC will host a Women’s Self-Defense Seminar led by Sensei Brinna Lavelle, a Judo black belt and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt. This seminar is open to the public and focuses on fundamental self-defense skills, including situational awareness and effective techniques to protect against real-world threats.
- Time: 10:00 am

Why Self-Defense Matters
Violence against women remains a pressing issue in the United States. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), 1 in 4 women will experience severe intimate partner violence in their lifetime. Additionally, data from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) highlights that in 2023, more than 70% of all domestic violence victims in Tennessee were women. These statistics emphasize the need for women to develop confidence and the ability to protect themselves in real-world situations.
At Renzo Gracie Clarksville, we believe martial arts training is more than just self-defense—it is a path to confidence, strength, and personal growth. Our gym fosters a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where women can train at their own pace while becoming part of a powerful community.
Exclusive Women’s Month Offer
Throughout March, RGC offers an exclusive 25% discount on the first month of training for all women who sign up for our Standard or All-Access Memberships. This is a perfect opportunity to begin or continue a journey into martial arts and self-defense with expert instructors and a welcoming community.
