1 year ago today we launched our first women-only, trauma-informed jiu-jitsu program 🥳

We were fortunate to be able to finish the 6-week program just before Covid hit and gyms across the country closed their doors for several months.

With the uncertainty of whether Covid would return to the state, we held off running more classes, but we’re still busy working with industry professionals to develop a community action plan and a trauma-informed framework for jiu-jitsu that could be rolled out further afield.

We’re super excited at the prospect of creating new pathways for trauma survivors to try jiu-jitsu in a safe and friendly environment and reap the benefits of this amazing sport 🤩
