Women’s BJJ Self-Defense Classes

Coach Moe is deeply committed to this cause because he has many women in his life whom he loves dearly, including his wife and two daughters.

His goal is for all women to feel safe and empowered, which is why he is dedicated to making these classes a valuable resource.
