Known on Instagram as “Jiu Jitsu Grandma”, Elaine Wynn started training Jiu Jitsu at the age of 69 and received her purple belt in 2023 at age 74. Her inspiring Instagram posts will put a smile on your face and serve as an important reminder to not compare yourself to anyone else. Your journey is your own, and it’s never too late to chase your dreams.

Rose Miller trains at Atos Jiu Jitsu Headquarters in San Diego, California. She regularly posts short videos of highly relatable Jiu Jitsu tips. I frequently find myself watching one of her videos and thinking, “I need to try that!”

New Wave athlete Helena Crevar is a fierce competitor who at just 15 years old was already giving world champions some fierce competition. Not only is she fun to watch compete, it’s also fun to see what she’ll be wearing at her competitions as she has been known for some really fun and creative no-gi outfits!

Winning three consecutive world titles and earning her black belt while still a teenager, Shelby is especially an inspiration to young BJJ athletes. She shares competition and training tips as well as coaching advice on her Instagram page.
