(Professora/Coach Tiggy)
Tegan's BJJ passion comes from deeply seeded love and respect for the sport and martial arts from a young age. She strongly believes that the challenges faced every day and every week on the mats can be applied and utilised in real life situations.
She loves the complexity of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and how you are able to push yourself and progress every day becoming better in Jiu Jitsu, in life and a better person overall in every way.

Tegan's Purpose
"I have learned so much about myself through my Jiu-Jitsu journey. I have always been a very driven person and I like to smash the goals that I have set. However, BJJ teaches you an abundance of life skills that are easily transferable from the mats into your life.
Just a few to mention are - patience, persistence, focus, determination, failure, success and confidence - both in yourself and your abilities. This gives me a greater passion to help others find this power within themselves.
The life lessons BJJ teaches you and its intrigue and challenge make Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a very special art.
This is why I believe Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone as it has endless layers and elements that will keep you entertained for a lifetime, both mentally and physically. My purpose is to share my passion in Jiu-Jitsu with as many people as I possibly can".
