Vanessa English Womens Only Seminar and Open Mat

Saturday 27 June 2026
Parity Martial Arts, Southampton

We’ve been running women’s open mats for over 6 years, creating a space for the community to come together, train, and connect.

This time, we’re switching things up with a special seminar led by Vanessa English. Expect high-level technique, a relaxed atmosphere, and the same positive vibe we’re known for.

We’ll still have snacks, good rounds, and plenty of laughs, while also raising funds for the Enyo Grappling Foundation, supporting women and girls in BJJ through training, competition, and new programme opportunities.
