Ashley Martens

I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the summer of 2021. I was wanting to do something I had never done before and decided to try it out. I loved it after the first class and that has developed into a passion for competing and coaching. I was also a bit of a clumsy kid, so it’s been a fun way to improve in that area of life. My favourite part of coaching is rolling together with other women and seeing them grow in Jiu-Jitsu. I love seeing the struggles turn into effortless movement, and the hard work they put into it inspires me. When I’m not on the mats, I’m working as a health care aide, spending time with family and friends, sewing, or doing anything outdoors.
