Why women's-only BJJ
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the self-defence art of getting out from under someone bigger than you — escapes, control, submissions. No striking, no strength contest, just leverage and technique.
This class is its own program, separate from every other class we run — a women-only room, at your own pace, with no one to impress. If you've never rolled before, this is exactly where to start.
Taught by Coach Gladys
Coach Gladys
2004 IBJJF World Masters Gold Medalist.
She started BJJ in her late 50s.
She competed locally for years. She was always bumped up to the adult division, against opponents who were much younger, more athletic, and often heavier than her.
She still won gold. In Gi and No-Gi. 🥇
Gladys is a retired elementary school teacher, and she loves teaching. She takes care of her students. She has a real passion for BJJ, and she loves sharing it with everyone who walks in.
She teaches our women's-only class on Fridays. Never trained before? She starts everyone from the same place.
Come meet her. Your first two weeks are free.

Questions
Do I need experience?
No. Most women who walk in have never trained before. Coach Gladys starts everyone from the same place.
Do I need to be fit first?
No — you get fit here. BJJ is a full-body workout on its own; nobody's turned away for their fitness level.
What do I wear?
Comfortable athletic clothes. No shoes on the mats — socks are fine.
