Who am I?

Hi, I'm Mikah, a white belt totally obsessed with jiu-jitsu!
The photo above is me at my first ever jiu-jitsu competition with my amazing supportive friends 😊

When I started my jiu-jitsu journey in October 2023 at the MMA Academy in Liverpool, I had no idea I’d get so hooked. What began as a few foundation classes quickly turned into 4-5 times a week of back to back 101 sessions and making great friends and training partners along the way - Shout to my “chicas” Carey and Tai 🥰.

Jiu-jitsu became my go-to escape, where for an hour, all I had to worry about was not getting arm barred or choked to sleep—easier said than done, right? 😂

A few months in, I got curious about competitions and realised how much they pushed my jiu-jitsu to the next level. I wanted to compete regularly, but there were two big hurdles: not enough women signing up and not enough women in my weight category.

As a woman training in a sport where men dominate the competition scene, I think it's time to change that!

So, I created this site to encourage more women to join in, whether your competitive in nature or just want to have fun, and compete. Let’s shake things up and show everyone what we’re made of! 💪

This also gives us an opportunity to get to know each other once we are off the mats aha 😊
