Get stronger, Feel safer, Know how to fight back
Our women’s self-defense class in Northwest, Indiana is designed to strengthen your body through a variety of exercises and practical Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques.
Build the confidence, fitness, and real-world self-defense skills to respond when a dangerous situation becomes physical. You can’t always avoid a confrontation—and relying on instinct or hoping for help isn’t a plan. Regardless of age or athletic ability, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches women how to control, escape, and defend against a larger attacker using leverage, technique, and timing.
Corral’s Martial Arts is the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in Northwest Indiana. The owner, Braulio, makes sure it’s clean, safe, and everyone feels welcome. This team is like a family. His wife, Brianne’s, self-defense class literally makes me look better after two classes. I would never train anywhere else. My confidence has never been so high!”

I have been a student here for almost six years and enjoy my classes very much. The instructors are wonderful and take great care of their students. At Corral’s, we are all one big happy family. I have met many of my best friends here, and we continue to grow as a family every class. It’s a great place to learn martial arts.

Always looking over your shoulder?
Walking to your car at night after grocery shopping. Getting your steps in on the bike trail. Parking your car before work. Notice someone following too closely? For many women, staying alert isn’t optional—it’s part of everyday life.
Know strength may not be on your side?
If someone larger and stronger grabs or attacks you, simply fighting harder may not be enough to escape. That physical disadvantage can create a very real fear of being overpowered, restrained, or unable to get away.
Not sure what you would actually do?
It’s easy to imagine running, yelling, or fighting back — but a real confrontation is chaotic and happens fast. Without training, you may not know how to react when someone grabs you, takes you down, or prevents you from escaping.
Stop feeling vulnerable and Start feeling prepared
Join other women across Northwest Indiana who have started learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense.
Through women’s self-defense classes at Corral’s Martial Arts, you’ll learn how to use leverage, technique, and timing to handle close-contact situations, escape dangerous positions, and build the confidence to react under pressure. At the same time, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training helps improve strength, endurance, and overall fitness — giving you skills that carry far beyond the mat.
Know how to escape and defend yourself
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for women is designed around leverage, positioning, and technique — not simply overpowering someone with strength. You’ll learn how to respond when grabbed, restrained, or taken to the ground — giving you skills to create space, regain control, and get away safely.
Feel safer, confident, and empowered
Learning how to protect yourself changes more than what you can do physically. As your skills improve, so does your confidence. You’ll develop greater focus, reduce stress, and move through daily life knowing you are better prepared to protect yourself and the people you care about.
Build a stronger, more capable body
Every self-defense class for women challenges your body while developing skills with a purpose. Improve endurance, flexibility, aerobic capacity, and muscle tone while burning calories and getting into better shape. The result is a body that isn’t just stronger, it’s more capable.
Our experience at CMA has been wonderful! Professor Braulio and Brianne are incredibly welcoming and supportive — their kids program is top-notch. They have mastered the ability to teach the kids proper technique while also having fun. My daughter has gained great amounts of confidence and meaningful friendships in such a short amount of time. I cannot recommend CMA enoug

Went to my first-ever Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class here and had such a great experience. Everyone was incredibly nice, welcoming, and patient while teaching me the basics and helping me feel comfortable. As a complete beginner, I really appreciated how supportive everyone was throughout the class. I’m definitely looking forward to signing up and continuing my BJJ training with them.

I’ve been training at the Corral’s Martial Arts and absolutely love it!! I’ve been to other gyms but this is by far the best. I have learned an exceptional amount and all the coaches are amazing! They are very attentive, especially with technique. Everyone is super patient, and humble! It’s really just an awesome environment to be apart of and I would encourage everybody to definitely check it out!
