Biography

Coach Hillary Grimm began learning BJJ with Calvert MMA in 2017. She joined with her husband, Keelen, out of a desire to learn self-defense, a new form of exercise, and get out of her mental and physical comfort zone.

After many years as an endurance athlete, Hillary also brings her unique expertise gained from multiple competitive sports including completing three Ironman triathlons, many marathons, half marathons, 50ks, and is currently training for ultra-marathons.

At Lineage, Hillary teaches Little Sharks and Junior Grapplers classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. She’s a well-known and friendly face at the front desk, helps new members get their bearings and enjoys helping people find the confidence to try BJJ.

Hillary said the desire to understand and continue her BJJ education comes from a love of practical self-defense knowledge as well as the intense physical and mental learning process BJJ inspires.

Hillary enjoys building bonds with her students and seeing the kids begin to truly understand technique and use it. She also enjoys the community at Calvert MMA and Lineage BJJ

Quote from Hillary:

“I love how much I have changed as a person for the better since beginning Jiu-Jitsu.  I am much more confident and internally motivated.  I cannot wait to see where this will take me.”
