Milena Roufas

Milena Roufas is a key part of the HRJJ coaching staff and a driving force behind the women's program. Her technical knowledge, competitive experience, and inclusive coaching style create the ideal environment for women new to the sport and experienced grapplers alike.

Milena's approach to coaching is informed by her own journey through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a genuine understanding of the unique challenges and rewards that women experience in the sport. Her sessions are technically rigorous but designed to be accessible — building confidence and competence simultaneously, whether a student is stepping onto the mat for the first time or preparing for competition.

Beyond running the women's program, Milena is an active member of the broader HRJJ coaching team, contributing to all-levels classes and the competition program. Her presence at the gym has played a significant role in making HRJJ a genuinely welcoming and high-performing environment for women in BJJ.
