Not long ago, walking into a BJJ gym as a woman meant being one of the only—if not the only—female on the mats. Fast forward to today, and the landscape is changing fast. Women are showing up, leveling up, and taking over podiums, classes, and coaching positions around the world.
At REEN, we’re not surprised. We’ve been watching it unfold from the ground level—and we’re here for all of it.
A Quiet Movement Turned Powerful Wave
Women have been grinding on the mats for years—often overlooked, underrepresented, or underestimated. But what started as a slow, quiet build has grown into something impossible to ignore. From white belts to world champions, women are now a visible, vital force in BJJ.
The rise isn’t just about numbers—it’s about impact. Women are influencing the way jiu jitsu is taught, learned, and respected. They’re coaching, creating communities, hosting camps, and inspiring the next generation.
Why More Women Are Stepping Onto the Mats
It’s not just about self-defense—though that’s a huge entry point. It’s about confidence. Control. Discipline. Community.
Jiu jitsu offers women a unique kind of empowerment: one that’s earned, not given. It teaches presence, resilience, and strength in a way few other disciplines can.
And as the culture shifts toward more inclusive spaces, women are finding gyms—and gear—that support their journey.
The Role of Gear in Representation
Representation doesn’t just happen on the mats—it happens in design, branding, and availability. At REEN, we’ve made it a mission to offer premium gear that’s made for women, not just “shrunk down” versions of men’s products.
Because comfort, fit, and expression matter. Women in BJJ deserve to feel strong, supported, and seen.
This Is Just the Beginning
As more women get introduced to BJJ, the art will evolve in new ways—technically, culturally, and creatively. And the best part? This isn’t a moment. It’s a movement.
We’re proud to stand with it. We’re proud to help shape it.
To every woman on the mat—new or seasoned—this is your space. This is your story. And at REEN, we’ve got your back.
