Coach Lori

Coach Lori is a brown belt having trained Jiu jitsu for about eight years. She is an active and passionate competitor with notable accomplishments both in the gi and no gi. In 2021, she held the IBJJF #1 ranking of female master 1 competitors in the no gi division of all weight classes. She is a No Gi Pan Ams Champion, American National champion and a veteran to the big stage of superfights with Submission Hunter Pro and Fight2Win promotions. She has been teaching Jiu Jitsu for about one year and truly enjoys the experience of watching her students develop both physically and mentally. Coach Lori leads the kids program and women’s only classes at KGA as well as an adults fundamentals class on Monday evenings. Lori has dreams of becoming a Gi and No Gi world champion one day and traveling the world to teach and train. 

Before dedicating much of her time to jiu jitsu, Lori trained striking (both boxing and Muay Thai) for roughly seven years. 

On her spare time she enjoys gardening, fishing,  watching documentaries and spending time with her family. Lori is a self proclaimed “foodie” and will try anything at least once.
