Real GBF Students training together. Not a stock photo, not staged.
"When you first started training or teaching, what was the female presence like in the school, and what made you realise that women needed a more intentional space within Jiu-Jitsu?"
Asked live at the GBF Panel, Gracie Barra Leader Con 2026
Ask most women who train Jiu-Jitsu about their first class and a lot of them will tell you the same thing: they were the only woman on the mat. Some loved it anyway. Some didn't come back. Nobody could tell you which one you'd be until you were already there.
That's the question our own Professors sat with in front of the whole GB Oceania team. Not a polished answer, a real one, about the classes where they were the only woman in the room, the coaches who had to learn as they went, and how different it got once women started teaching other women. This class is that conversation, minus the stage, plus a gi.
Not a slogan on a wall. Here's what actually happens on the mats.
Maybe it's your first class ever. Maybe you've trained for years but never rolled with this many women in one room. Either way, someone else here has felt exactly what you're feeling right now.
Prof Giuliana and Tami aren't reading off a script. They remember their own first roll and their own first tap. That's who's coaching you through this one.
No guessing whether the person across from you is going to go easy on you or crush you to prove a point. Every woman in this room already knows what it's like to be smaller, newer, or just having an off day.
Every black belt on that panel was once a nervous white belt at her first class. If this one does its job, some of today's newest Students end up teaching the next one.
Both of them were the newest person in the room once too.
9 years training in Jiu-Jitsu, Prof Giuliana leads the GBF Women's Only Program at Gracie Barra Headquarters, Sydney. She holds a degree in psychology, which shapes how she reads what a student actually needs in the moment, technically and emotionally.
"A woman doesn't need to shrink herself to belong on this mat. My job is to build a room where she can grow in skill and in confidence at the same time, and where both count as real progress."
Prof Giuliana Kleina, Black BeltTraining consistently since 2012 and coaching since 2019, Tami has watched Jiu-Jitsu build confidence in kids, purpose in adults, and stronger communities around every school she's taught at.
"Jiu-Jitsu changed my life when I needed it most, it's part of who I am now. Watching a student grow on the mats, and carry that into the rest of her life, is why I still love doing this."
