We all walked away with a better understanding of side control and using angles and momentum to our advantage. Plus a pleasure to spend the morning with a great jiujitsu family!

Women are still a minority in many jiu jitsu gyms. As this gym is owned and operated by a female jiu jitsu practitioner, the goal is to create a safe space for women to train. Self-defense, body control and movement, and feeling comfortable and being clear headed when on the bottom of a larger opponent builds women's confidence.
"As a smaller female, I had to learn more technical approaches to jiu jitsu to combat a stronger opponent. I am looking to create an inclusive gym that gives everyone these skills for life and to make their jiu jitsu better." - Elizabeth Maxwell
