From the reviews
This is a positive empowering women’s only jiu jitsu community out of Riverfront Jiu Jitsu out of Wilmington, DE. I have been with RJJ as one of their first female members. I have watched this community grow and it is truly something special.
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.
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!
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!
New to BJJ? Start at Mat Queens Women's Jiu Jitsu
Mat Queens Women's Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Mat Queens Women's Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
