Too often, the "big girls"  in the grappling world get our skills and accomplishments dismissed due to our size. At times it can get frustrating or discouraging having a lack of peers in our gyms or competitions, to relate.

Cue in the mighty dames

The Mighty Dames was formed, in 2017, to help facilitate the need for female "heavys" to connect with each other. Our mission is to foster a community of encouragement and camaraderie for female "heavys".  The Mighty Dames are dedicated to supporting each of you in your grappling journey and look to be a safe haven for women to come for encouragement, motivation, advice or just to vent.

 Embrace all that you are

​

From a very early age, we women are faced with societal pressure to look and act a certain way. As these pressures continue, we often being to see them impacting our self-esteem, self-worth, and self-value. Our vision is to shatter the negative attitudes toward being "heavy" by spreading the importance of healthy body image & body confidence.
