Meet The Founder, Gemma Sheehan
Hello! I'm the founder and head coach at GWF. I'm an ex-MMA fighter and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt with over 15 years experience training and competing in kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts.
In 2017 I retired as a fighter and started Girls Who Fight, developing our self defense curriculums based on the most effective combat techniques that apply to the realistic attacks women face.
Our ultimate mission at Girls Who Fight is to give each woman and girl the life-changing confidence that comes from becoming your own skilled protector, and becoming willing and capable of fighting for yourself in all aspects of life.
