We’re really excited to announce that Vanessa English is joining our Escapology BJJ as a kids and adults coach.
For those of you that don’t know her, Vanessa is a black belt under Victor Estima and an extremely seasoned UK-born competitor. Although she’s known for her strong gi work, Vanessa has experience with both gi and no gi, so you can expect to see her floating around in both programmes. She’s medaled at or won just about every major event that you can participate in– she was even a walk-on from the crowd in the 2009 ADCC Championships. It’s a great story, you should ask her sometime.
In addition to competing, Vanessa has been coaching extensively for the last ten years and has become well-known for her engaging mat presence. At Escapology, we’re really proud to be a team that such an accomplished female competitor would choose to join. We think that says great things about the kind of environment that our students have helped us build.
Vanessa is going to be an amazing addition to our coaching staff, and we’re excited for the addition of such a knowledgeable, experienced athlete into the team.
Vanessa will be running our Kids 1 programme, which focuses on building strong technical and competitive basics for new primary-age students. In the adult programme, she’ll be teaching a wide variety of different classes– check the schedule a week in advance for more information!
