TRUE STRENGTH
OUR MISSION
True Strength Women’s Jiu-Jitsu Collective creates opportunities for women of all affiliations, ranks, backgrounds, ages, and abilities to receive high-quality technical instruction and mentorship from BJJ black belt women, connect with a community that can uplift and inspire them, and participate in joyful, safe training with other women in a non-competitive environment. With a dedication to ethical leadership and authenticity, we generate genuine support for women on their journey in martial arts and in life.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Please join us for the very first True Strength Women’s BJJ Collective Community Potluck! Our goal is to not just have great BJJ events, but to be a true community. So sign up, bring a dish to share, and let’s eat!
What: Get together with other advanced women for a solid warm-up, focused drilling, and plenty of rolls. High-level training, good energy, and a room full of women who know the grind!
Who: BJJ purple, brown and black belt women. Women from all affiliations, teams, states are welcome.
Where: Dandelion BJJJ, 375 Morgan Ln #401, West Haven, CT
When: Sunday, June 7, 10AM-12PM
Price: Moving forward we are instituting a “Pay What You Can” sliding scale. We have included several options. (where does my fee go?)
We are so looking forward to training with all of you!
On the fence about participating due to injury or current low volume of training? You should come! Intensity and volume of drilling and rolling is at each woman’s discretion. This is designed to be a supportive community that meets people right where they are, whether they need support while getting back in the swing of things or want a lot of intense, highly technical rounds to get ready to compete (and everywhere in between).
Contact us with absolutely any questions or concerns.
