I always have a great time in the women’s jiu jitsu class. I feel confident and strong after every class. Professor Thamires is very patient, explains everything calmly and thoroughly and always makes time to answer questions. I especially like how she coaches through our free roll sessions, for some one very new like me, this really helps.

As always, the training was focused on technique but making sure the kids have fun. She changes activities frequently so the kids do not lose interest and makes sure they are safe.
