"I’m proud of the woman jiu-jitsu has helped me become"

— WHO WE ARE

MORE THAN APPAREL.

Grapple Like a Girl started with a simple idea: women in jiu-jitsu deserved gear made with them in mind. Since then, it’s grown into a community we’re incredibly proud of—but that idea is still at the heart of everything we do. Our gear is designed for women, tested by women who train, and made to feel just as good as it looks
