Our women-only class is run by two female coaches who offer a space for women to learn with other women, in a friendly, relaxed environment. Our coaches noticed that sometimes the idea of rolling with a man can be a barrier for women wanting to start BJJ and our women-only class seeks to remove that entirely. The class is just as fun, just as informal and you’ll learn just as much, without any pressure. We promote good practice in BJJ and we hone the skill and technique required to out-manoeuvre opponents, male or female.
Women-only classes are all Gi classes – for new members, we have Gis that you can wear while you try it out. At your first session, just come along in comfortable sportswear (leggings, t-shirt, tracksuit bottoms with no zips or pockets, long sleeved t-shirts etc) and we’ll make sure you have what you need to relax into your first class. The women in the class are at different levels in their BJJ and are keen to welcome new members and enjoy the opportunity to show what they’ve learned.
Our timetable and membership prices are available on our classes page. You can also find timetable and membership info our our app. Download here:
Women Only BJJ Coaching
Many of the women at Strive attend both the adult classes and the women-only classes and find different benefits from each, improving both their technical and physical strength. In this women-only BJJ class, you’ll be learning the core techniques of BJJ that will ensure you can hold your own with any opponent. If you want to compete, we can offer focused learning to develop you at the level you want to achieve.
Classes To Fit Around You
All of our classes are relaxed and informal – there’s no need to rush to class, just get here when you can and leave when you need to. You don’t need to attend every class on the schedule and you don’t have to be working towards competition to enjoy the sport. A lot of the women members at Strive are looking to improve their fitness, develop their self-defence skills, spend time with like-minded people and take time in their week to enjoy a hobby that feels empowering. All of our classes welcome female members – this one is simply just for women.
“Strive has a very welcoming environment for anyone wanting to learn or continue their ju-jitsu journey. As a female learning a new sport especially a martial art can be quite daunting but come along for a session and I promise you’ll love it . I honestly couldn’t recommend a better place to train.”
