About this Event

Are you ready for some great Jiu Jitsu? because we are!

Girls in Gis is a community of women and girls in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that come together through donation based training events. They are hosted, instructed, and attended only by women and girls. It's our time to come together! All ages and skill levels from any academy affiliation are welcome to attend. No experience required. Our events are designed for 100% participation, but do allow chaperones to accompany underage participants as spectators.

Our events are donation based in order to provide equal opportunity to everyone. Your donations provide paid teaching opportunities for our guest instructor(s) and help to expand and make Girls in Gis programs such as our events, our leadership program and instructional training programs and our scholarships possible. If you are not able to make a donation please contact us and we will work with you so that you are able to participate.

You can also purchase a GIG t-shirt, patches and more GIG merchandise with your donation. All orders can be picked up during the event.

Dr. Megan Lisset Jimenez (an Orthopedic Sports Surgeon, US Army Major, and Jiu Jitsu brown belt) has combined her career in medicine with her passion for martial arts. Her travels for orthopedics and the military have allowed her to train with esteemed black belts like Jonavin Webb, Kyle Watson, Josh Bowlin, and Steven Galvez, creating a unique style and a strong jiu jitsu community across the U.S. Megan recently faced a torn AC, an injury she often helped others heal from, gained a new perspective on recovery. She’s happiest teaching future surgeons in the operating room and sharing her jiu jitsu knowledge at Logic Jiu Jitsu Club near her new home in Washington State.

As a psych mental health nurse practitioner, her focus is female veterans. Through her work with We Defy, Brooke helps spread jiu-jitsu and positivity across the Pacific Northwest, training under Logic Jiu-Jitsu Club.
