The Hard Truth: Women Get Choked — Jiu Jitsu Teaches You How to Survive It

Fayetteville • Hope Mills • Spring Lake • Fort Liberty

This isn’t a comfortable conversation.
It’s not supposed to be.

Because attackers don’t care about comfort.
And when hands go around a woman’s throat, the message is always:

Be silent. Be controlled. Be powerless.

Strangulation is one of the most common and most dangerous forms of violence used against women — and it can escalate in seconds. And here in Fayetteville, NC, assaults often happen in close quarters with someone the victim knows and trusts.

In those moments:

❌ You can’t scream
❌ You can’t rely on strength
❌ Panic floods your body

You don’t rise to the occasion —
You fall to the level of your training.

That is why Jiu Jitsu is essential.

When the Choke Starts — Jiu Jitsu Is Your Lifeline

We tell women to:

• Carry keys between their knuckles

• Avoid dark parking lots

• Stay alert around strangers

But the truth?

Most assaults happen:

🏠 In the home
👤 By someone familiar
📏 At extremely close range

By the time hands are around your throat…
you’re already fighting for your life.

Jiu Jitsu: The Great Equalizer

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was created so smaller people can survive — and win — against larger attackers using leverage, technique, and positioning.

Women who train BJJ learn:

✔ How to break grips on the throat
✔ How to escape when pinned to the ground
✔ How to stay calm when oxygen drops
✔ How to reverse and control a bigger attacker
✔ How to create space to breathe — and survive

This isn’t fitness.
This isn’t sport.
This is life-or-death training.

Strength Isn’t Required — Courage Is

Self-defense isn’t about fighting.
It’s about having options:

A choice to breathe.
A choice to escape.
A choice to go home safe.

Women who train aren’t aggressive —
They are prepared, empowered, and refuse to be victims.
