Jenae Mata
"I started coming to Solid Foundations Womens Jiu Jitsu classes a few months back and I haven’t looked back since! This is a great program for women looking for self defense classes. The main coach, Crystal, is amazing. She’s very patient with beginners and goes through step by step with you if needed. The women in the class bring great energy and are also very patient and kind with you! Very happy to have joined this community of people and encourage others to give this class a try!!"
