In this episode of Hustle Northwest, we sit down with Sarah Ora, founder of Girls Gym PDX, Portland’s first female-focused MMA and self-defense gym, now celebrating its 20th anniversary. Sarah is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a former professional MMA fighter, and a dedicated coach who has spent decades empowering women through combat sports.
She shares her incredible journey, from learning martial arts in her front yard at 15 years old to stepping into the cage as a professional fighter, including her fight against UFC legend Miesha Tate. We dive into the mental toughness required for competition, the evolution of women’s MMA, and the life-changing confidence-building power of martial arts.
Sarah also discusses the challenges women faced breaking into the sport, how MMA has evolved over the years, and why training at Girls Gym is about more than just fighting—it’s about community, self-defense, and personal transformation.
If you’ve ever wanted to know what it takes to step into the cage, this episode is for you. 🔥👊
