Welcome to The Great Flip!

I’m Coach Jody and I teach online self defense and life skills to girls inspired by Brazilian jiu-jitsu, nutrition and faith-based motivation. The Great Flip instructional videos are designed for girls ages 6 and up (yes, and mom too). I’m a mother of two daughters and a purple belt certified Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor.

Here at The Great Flip, you and your daughter can learn simple self-defense techniques in the comfort of your own home. Simply subscribe to my online instructional videos. Each video is less than three minutes and teach one simple self-defense technique. Let’s give one a try right now. Let’s learn the Wrist Escape.

If you are not familiar with Brazilian jiu-jitsu, that’s okay. It was a new concept to me too. But after a lot of research, my husband and I discovered jiu-jitsu and learned it was the best martial art for our daughters because it addresses the ground game situation like no other martial art. Don’t get me wrong, karate and taekwondo are fun, but are not real to life when it comes to self-defense. And Krav Maga looks good in theory, but you better be bigger and stronger and probably faster if you want to be successful at it.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu equips a smaller person to overcome a larger person by learning techniques. I’d like to introduce you to this martial art within the safety of your home and or group of friends.
