Erin Orange
"Come train with the Mat Queens of Riverfront Jiu-Jitsu! RJJ is a clean, welcoming gym with a supportive community. The women’s group continues to grow and has women of all ages, sizes, and skill levels. There’s almost always at least one woman on the mat. Try a women-only or co-ed class!"
Katie Butera
"This is an amazing women’s jiu jitsu community. Elyse leads a strong women’s program built on inclusivity, safety, passion, and empowerment. You will feel welcome and supported every training session. Whether you’re new to the sport, a seasoned vet, or just visiting the area, highly highly recommend training at Mat Queens @Riverfront BJJ"
Elizabeth Thompson
"The Mat Queens, Riverfront BJJ's women's community, is my favorite part of our gym's culture! I've been training here for 6 months, and the combination of skilled coaching, supportive teammates, and the joy of working hard together is truly special. Come try a class today!"
Cynthia Papettas
"I have been at Riverfront Jiu Jitsu for a year, and a part of Mat Queens since the women’s program began. This is such a kind and inclusive group of women, all challenging and supporting each other to be better jiu jitsu practitioners, and learning ways to better defend ourselves. Whether you’re visiting locally or looking for a jiu jitsu home, this will surely be the place for you!"
