Join coach Rebecca Verlaan, coach and competitor at Rossland Martial Arts, for a no pressure introduction to standing grappling exchanges. This will be a games based session scaled to your comfort and experience. No crashing to the ground necessary! The reality of self defense for women often comes down to staying on your feet (not falling down) or getting back up off the ground. Whether your interest is general, competitive or self defense, this is a great place to start!
SATURDAY JULY 11 10am-1pm
Rebecca grew up training Karate & started BJJ when she moved to the Kootenays in 2022. More than anything, she credits the BJJ community for creating space for her and fostering a love of the art. Rebecca has taught self defense courses for local high schools and see organizes Rossland’s Mountain Mayhem BJJ Tournament series.
Recent highlights include:
ADCC open TORONTO SILVER MEDAL (advanced -60kg)
Vancouver Grappling Industries GOLD (gi 135lbs purple), GOLD (nogi 170lbs, blackbelt)
OFC 125lbs TITLE HOLDER
This session will cover:
Fundamentals of grappling exchanges from standing
Scaled games in the standing context (hand fighting, connecting to the body, off balancing, etc)
Concepts that will get you (or your opponent) to the ground safely
Getting back to your feet when grounded
Managing scrambles!
Confidence building games with at your own pace scaled intensity and level of contact
a guaranteed FUN session of body movement & empowerment
Take a deep dive with Rebecca just for this 1\2 day workshop or make it a step toward a practice. Women’s only training every Friday 5:30-6:30pm and other WORKSHOP events July 18, August 15 & 22.
No experience necessary, work out cloths, a water bottle & a willingness to play are all you need, we will take care of the rest!
Bring a friend or two for maximum laughter, exploration & fun!
