Join us on the first Sunday of each month for a Women’s BJJ Competition Class, alternating between Gi and No-Gi sessions. This class is designed for girls in and around the Northwest, providing competition-style training in the usual friendly atmosphere.
This class isn’t just an open mat—it’s a coach-led, structured session that guarantees plenty of training time with a range of partners, so no one ends up sitting out. Whether you’re an active competitor or simply want to challenge yourself, we wanted to create a space for you to test yourself and improve without the fear of being 'too much'.
After training, there'll be cake and plenty of time to catch up.
Please note: participation is for women only, but this isn't a closed-door session and will be run by a male coach. For any questions, please contact @hollyemilyjackson on Instagram.
Details:
- Frequency: First Sunday of each month
- Class Style: Structured specific sparring and focused rounds, rotating between Gi and No-Gi each month
- Atmosphere: Friendly and welcoming, but also tough—a class for women who are serious about their BJJ growth and want to lift others up in the process
- Post-Session Social: Time to chat with fellow women in BJJ (much needed in a male-dominated sport), and connect with potential new training partners closer to your home gym.
Who is this class for?
This class welcomes all women age 14+ interested in testing their jiu-jitsu in a supportive yet challenging environment. Whilst we welcome all abilities, this class will be entirely live sparring and won't include any traditional drilling or technique, so please bear this in mind.

Drive right to the end and turn left, we're through the gates!
