“I started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with the hopes of trying something new…I never would have thought I would get in such great shape or feel as confident as I do now” -MAFA BJJ enthusiast (3 months training)
With the sport of mixed martial arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu growing at a steady pace, more women have begun to practice mixed martial arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with the hopes of learning great self defense techniques as well as strength and cardio endurance. Once a male dominated sport, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu–BJJ– has now established a female presence to be reckoned with.
