About Us

Liz started jiujitsu in 2011, got her blue belt in 2013, and has competed in 11 competitions. Although she is from California, she is currently living, training, and coaching jiujitsu abroad. Jiujitsu has helped her cope with perfectionism and taught her how to take risks, be vulnerable, and try new things. She’s learned through jiujitsu that nothing in life worth having comes easy, and that in order to succeed, you must first fail, and then fail more.

Meg started jiujitsu in 2012, got her blue belt in 2013, and has competed in five competitions. She shares the mat with awesome training partners, including her husband who is a blue belt. A native of West Virginia, Meg first started training at a jiujitsu gym in China and eventually taught beginners at and managed the academy. 

Our Vision

Our teammates are also our best friends, and we couldn’t live without our training partners, both male and female. In fact, most of the men in jiujitsu are awesome, and the mats aren’t complete without them. And to be honest, being in the minority is part of what makes it so thrilling.

However, being a member of such a marginalized population in a highly male-dominated sport like jiujitsu means there are a lot of challenges often not talked about. It helps to realize: YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

We want to share our love of jiujitsu with the world and also express our happiness and frustration. We hope to bond with the female jiujitsu community over the unique challenges we face. From having boobs and periods to questioning our abilities and belt levels, women confront a myriad of physical and emotional barriers in jiujitsu.

Let’s face it: As women, we need 100 times more heart than men in order to succeed in this sport. In this way, we hope to offer mutual help and support to our BJJ sisters around the world.
