Meet Your InstructorS

Started by women. Coached by women. Built for women. The Nomad Women’s Sparring Program is led by women across every stage of the journey — from newer members who remember exactly what it felt like to step into the ring for the first time, to experienced amateur fighters with 7+ years of training under their belts. We bring different styles, backgrounds, and perspectives, but we all share the same thing: Nomad grit. We train hard, we push each other, and yeah — the punching-each-other-in-the-face to best-friend pipeline is very real here.
