Women’s BJJ & Self-Defence

A women-only space for the most effective self-defence classes on the North Shore.
Build practical skills, fitness and real confidence alongside other women, with coaching that meets you where you are. No experience required.

Meet Daini Wei

Daini is a Black Belt, NSW State Champion and Asian Open Champion at Masters level. More importantly, she’s built one of the most welcoming women’s BJJ communities in Sydney. Her classes attract a range from complete beginners to active competitors — and every woman on the mat helps the ones around her.

What you'll learn

The full BJJ curriculum — guard, passing, top control, escapes, submissions. The real stuff.
Self-defence scenarios — getting back to your feet, breaking grips, creating space, getting away.
Takedowns and standing defence — because real confrontations don't start on the ground.
Live training — optional positional sparring, always with appropriately-matched partners.
The mental game — staying calm under pressure, trusting your technique, managing adrenaline.

Who trains in the women's program?

Complete beginners. Busy professionals. Mums. Students. Women who’ve trained martial arts before but want a break from mixed classes. Competitors from our main program who want extra mat time with female training partners. You’ll find all of them here.

Can I also train in the main classes?

Absolutely. Many women in the program train in both — starting in the women’s-only classes to build confidence, then adding mixed fundamentals or advanced classes as they progress. You pick the pace.
Timetable:  Women’s classes run Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 17:30. VIEW FULL TIMETABLE
