What is The Great Flip?

The Great Flip offers online martial arts instructional videos and lesson plans to guide girls through a series of simple self-defense techniques inspired by the martial art called Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Each video is 3-4 minutes in length, easy to watch, learn, drill and master.

No martial arts experience is required. I equip you with everything you need to run a successful program. My coaching style is fun, playful and empowering for everyone!

What badge requirements does The Great Flip meet?
