Monica joined our members for training and shared some great rounds on the tatami. She also added a few fine details to the techniques that were the focus of today’s training, giving our members another useful perspective on the same positions.

We are always happy to welcome people from other academies, especially when they bring experience and good energy. These kinds of visits are a great part of Jiu Jitsu – training, hanging out and exchanging experience without overcomplicating things.

Thank you to Monica for visiting us, for the great training session and for the good company. The doors of Mizfits are always open to good people and Jiu Jitsu enthusiasts.

See you again on the tatami!

OSS! 🥋

Whether you have any previous experience in martial arts or are considering stepping onto the mats for the very first time, this is the perfect opportunity to discover BJJ in a safe, supportive, and friendly environment.

Why do we want more women in Jiu Jitsu?

We believe that sport becomes better, healthier, and stronger when women actively take part in it. The more women are involved in sport, training, and the community, the more we show that as a society we are progressing – towards greater equality, greater mutual respect, and the creation of a space where everyone has the opportunity to develop their abilities.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is not a sport reserved only for those who have “already trained something.” On the contrary – BJJ is a skill that teaches control, technique, self-confidence, calmness under pressure, and gradual personal growth. That is why it is a great choice for every woman who wants to do something new for herself, her body, and her confidence.

What can you expect?

In the beginner classes, the focus is on learning the fundamentals, proper movement, simple and useful techniques, and creating a welcoming atmosphere where everyone can feel comfortable. There is no pressure, no need for prior experience, just a positive attitude and a willingness to try something new.

In addition to physical activity, BJJ brings many other benefits – it builds discipline, improves fitness, strengthens mental resilience, and provides a sense of security through learning how to control your own body and the situation.

Happy Women’s Day!

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, we sincerely wish all women a happy March 8th! Thank you for your strength, perseverance, courage, and for everything you contribute every day to your families, your community, and society as a whole.

We hope that this March will be the first step for some towards a new, healthier, and stronger chapter – and it would be our great pleasure for you to take that step with us on the mats.

See you at Mizfits BJJ Academy Split!
