Girls in Gis McAllen-Texas Event

Are you ready for some great Jiu Jitsu? because we are!

Girls in Gis is a community of women and girls in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that come together through donation based training events.  They are hosted, instructed, and attended only by women and girls. It's our time to come together! All ages and skill levels from any academy affiliation are welcome to attend. No experience required. Our events are designed for 100% participation, but do allow chaperones to accompany underage participants as spectators.

Our events are donation based in order to provide equal opportunity to everyone. Your donations provide paid teaching opportunities for our guest instructor(s) and help to expand and make Girls in Gis programs such as our events, our leadership program and instructional training programs and our scholarships possible. If you are not able to make a donation please contact us and we will work with you so that you are able to participate.

You can also purchase a GIG t-shirt, patches and more GIG merchandise with your donation. All orders can be picked up during the event.

Guest instructors: Yvonne Ferreira & Dez Ledesma

Yvonne Ferreira is a black belt and owner at Team Ferreira BJJ alongside her husband Diego Ferreira. She has been training for a little over 11 years. As a gym owner, she is fully committed to the business and team full time. She was an active competitor to purple belt, but her brown belt journey was a little different due pregnancy. She hopes to get back on the competition scene soon. Outside of jiu-jitsu she has a passion for yoga and CrossFit. Every day is 100% on mommy, wife and business mode and wouldn’t have it any other way. She is very grateful she gets to share the mats daily with her family.

Dez Ledesma is a purple belt from Pharr, TX and began her Jiu Jitsu journey with Team Ferreira BJJ in 2018. She started training alongside her daughters and enjoys sharing the mats with her family and friends. She has been instructing defensive tactics and self-defense classes since 2019 for various groups and loves to share her knowledge and passion in personal protection!
