What Other Coaches Are Saying:

What’s Inside the Course:

3. The Physical Space System

How to design, arrange and control the space so it works for you — not against you.

Getting to know me:

Hi, I’m Ellee.
I’m an early childhood and primary teacher, a psychology student, and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu purple belt.
My whole world sits at the intersection of child development and BJJ.
I love taking what we know about how kids learn, behave, regulate, play and grow, and turning it into simple, practical systems coaches can use on the mats.
I’m always learning, always refining, and always testing things in real rooms with real kids.
