Hello

My Jiu Jitsu journey began after years of hesitation and reflection. As someone who watched family members excel in Jiu Jitsu, I initially resisted joining due to chronic illness and other personal reasons. However, the mental and physical benefits of Jiu Jitsu eventually became undeniable. Overcoming chronic pain and adapting training methods, I discovered a passion for the art and the community it builds.

Meeting women who couldn't train in coed environments due to past traumas highlighted the need for a women-focused Jiu Jitsu club, leading to the creation of She Devil Jiu Jitsu. 

She Devil Jiu Jitsu was born in 2021 with the mission of providing women with a safe space to train and grow through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Inspired by personal experiences and the stories of women who faced barriers to training, I realized the need for a dedicated women's class.

Today, we are proud to offer a welcoming community where women can build confidence, improve their self-defense skills, and experience personal growth. I have seven years of training under Professors Mike Geery and Leonard Butch White. I am passionate about Gi training and play a slow, pressure-based game with a focus on submissions, including lapel attacks and foundational Jiu Jitsu techniques. Despite starting with no sports background, PTSD, and managing chronic illnesses, dedication and love for Jiu Jitsu have driven me to share this art with others.
