Since becoming a mom, so much of my time and energy has been focused on my children — and while that's a joy, I realized I had been putting myself on the back burner. I finally decided it was time to show up for me, and committing to Coach Kimo's weekly women's self-defense/BJJ class has been one of the best decisions I've made.

Love this place! Started about a year ago with zero grappling experience and was pleasantly surprised with how welcoming and encouraging everyone was with beginners.
