Meet Your Head Coach

Sofia Nurse

My name is Sofia, and I’m a dedicated instructor in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo with over six years of training and experience. Along my journey, I’ve competed at regional, national, and international levels, continually pushing myself to grow both on and off the mats.

What began as a personal pursuit of self-defense became a lifelong passion I’m eager to share. Whether your goal is to compete, gain confidence, or learn practical self-defense, our club offers a welcoming space where everyone can train, improve, and be part of a supportive community.

Judo & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu- what are they?

Judo is a modern martial art and Olympic sport that focuses on using balance, leverage, and technique rather than strength. It teaches throws, pins, and holds to control an opponent safely, making it both a fantastic way to build fitness and a valuable tool for self-defense. Judo also develops discipline, confidence, and respect, making it popular with both children and adults.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a ground-based martial art that focuses on using technique, leverage, and strategy to control and submit an opponent. Instead of relying on strength, BJJ teaches practical skills like sweeps, escapes, and submissions, making it effective for self-defense and great for fitness. It builds problem-solving, confidence, and resilience, and is practiced by people of all ages, from hobbyists to world-class athletes.
