Women in BJJ Share Their REAL Training Experiences

Curious about the real difference between men and women in BJJ?

This video offers advice for women training in BJJ, insights on rolling with women, and experiences from a BJJ brown belt.

In this video, I sit down with Abby, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) brown belt, to discuss the unique challenges and experiences women face in BJJ.

We cover key topics such as:

✅ How women compete differently than men in BJJ
✅ Rolling with aggressive training partners – what it’s like and how to handle it
✅ The mental game in Jiu-Jitsu – overthinking, problem-solving, and adapting under pressure
✅ Strength, size & leverage – can a female BJJ practitioner defeat a larger, stronger male?
✅ Why BJJ is a game-changer for self defence & confidence – especially for women and young girls

James shares his experiences about getting utterly humbled by a 16-year-old female white belt and Abby talks about how a boxer struggled against her BJJ submissions due to a lack of grappling knowledge.
