SUPPORTING WOMEN

Enyo was created as a platform to support and showcase the amazing women and girls of BJJ and to increase female participation in our awesome sport.

We felt that women were not being given the same opportunities as men, and were massively underrepresented on many of the big shows - we wanted to try and address that imbalance and work towards creating a participation and pay parity.

But Enyo was never meant to solely be about competition and competitors. We wanted it to be a tool to get more women and girls on the mats at a grassroots level. We always envisioned being able to financially support ladies that wouldn’t have the resources to access BJJ otherwise - whether that’s through supplying kit or covering gym fees - along with creating training events and safe spaces to tempt first timers on to the mats. That’s where our new initiative comes in…

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Enyo Foundation - our non-profit organisation created to benefit the female BJJ community, thus BJJ in general. Our aims include:

• cover costs such as competition fees and travel for active competitors

• work at a grassroots level to run women only programmes across the country, creating more opportunities for people to access training.

• host affordable seminars with high level female athletes.
