Coach Traci Monaghan

Coach Traci Monaghan watched both of her kids train for months before she finally stopped resisting the pull and stepped onto the mat herself in November 2024. That moment changed things. Jiu-jitsu pushes her mentally and physically, and gives her a genuine mental break from the weight of daily responsibilities. She found something on this mat that she wasn’t expecting. Now she teaches it.

Coach Traci loves leading the women’s class, and she has a specific dream: a day when there are more women on the mat than men. She is working toward that one class at a time. Outside of jiu-jitsu, she is happiest spending time with her family, a barbell in her hands, or picking up a new hobby most recently embroidery. One important thing to know: she has very high standards for both coffee and food.
