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: 
Katie Dees, Stacey Councilman, and Sophia Cho
Katie Dees
 started training at 30 years old. She fell in love with jiu jitsu quickly and became an entrepreneur and co-owner of Ralph Gracie BJJ in Sacramento. Shortly after she started the first womens only program here in Sacramento. Currently she is a black belt under Manny Gonzales and has over 10 years of grappling experience.
She has competed in various competitions such as Submission Pro Tour, WFC, IBJJF Pans, and Master Worlds.
She also teaches the women’s program at Ralph Gracie Sacramento and recently became a White/Pink belt through the MEAN GIRL PROJECT & Hero Self Defense. She truly hopes to inspire other ladies to train jiu jitsu not only for their safety and well being but for the great community that it brings together.
Off the mats Katie, enjoys spending time with her three children who also train Brazilian jiu jitsu. She enjoys traveling and coaching at jiu jitsu tournaments. She also enjoys weightlifting and spending time with her ladies from class.
Stacey Councilman
 is a black belt under Chad Bingham/Alliance, a 5x Master World Champion, several time American National and Pans Gi and NoGi champion in BJJ, having achieved 34 medals on the podium at IBJJF majors. Her passion and mission, though, has been the creation of empowerment and defensive tactics systems for women that bring them into martial arts through self defense and
violence prevention training. She has run several programs, has been the CEO and president of both nonprofits and other companies, and is currently the majority owner and CEO of HERO Self Defense, LLC., and Mean Girl Self Defense, where her teams’ focus is helping women build confidence, resilience and self worth through their 5-level course.
Stacey was inducted into the US Martial Arts Hall Of Fame in 2024 for her work in women’s empowerment through martial arts, and is working on her book “Be Your Own Damn Hero.”
Throughout her martial arts journey, she has presented over 600 free self defense and violence prevention seminars throughout the US. In her free time, when she's not training, she enjoys cooking, video games, and learning how to homestead with her husband, John Councilman, at their home and property in the California Sierra Nevada Foothills. Together, she and her husband have 5 children in their 20's, and their first 2 grandchildren.
Sophia Cho
 discovered her passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in her late 40s when she began training at Ralph Gracie Sacramento. She quickly fell in love with the art and dedicated herself to training daily. Her commitment led her to compete at prestigious events such as IBJJF Masters Worlds, BJJ Tour, and JJWL. She has claimed six IBJJF Masters World titles, earning gold as a blue, purple, and brown belt, along with multiple first-place finishes in other competitions.
As a brown belt, Sophia plays an active role in the jiujitsu community, co-leading the women's class at Ralph Gracie Sacramento alongside Katie. She is passionate about inspiring and empowering others to reach their full potential through jiujitsu.
Outside of training, Sophia enjoys creating new memories with her family and working on an exciting business venture with her husband.
