Its a femininomenon

You guuuuys, there is a new chicks only BJJ gym now open in Portland! Its called FEMME RISING, honestly when I first read the name I thought femme fatale? I mean you could train like the would be warrior princess assiasan that you are, because this isn't just any gym; they provide yoga, jiu-jitsu, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) classes as well as wellness coaching with an experience designed just for women. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your fitness journey this is an awesome place to check out !

Although their website doesn't provide much detail on their class schedule or or who's teaching what etc. if you take a peak at their IG, and scroll to the bottom of their very esthetic page, you will see that black belt Liz “Titan” Tracy, will be director of the Jiujitsu and Self Defense classes. Liz has competed in Invicta Fighting Champions a prominent all-women's MMA organization. She holds a professional record of 7 wins and 5 losses. In other words, she's the real freaken deal.

The gym itself (per their IG) appears to be giving jiu-jitsu a facelift with its sleek, minimalist design. Think neutral tones—beige, cream, soft grays—that give the whole place a modern, polished vibe. It’s not your typical gritty, dark gym. Femme Rising manages to create a space that feels girly, striking the perfect balance between classy and inviting. It’s definitely millennial-coded, with that clean, neutral aesthetic that makes you feel like you're stepping into a wellness retreat rather than just another jiu-jitsu studio.
