Girls on the Mat exists to recognize and support the girls and women who continue to show up, train, compete, lead, and make space for others on the mat.
We want to hear from athletes, parents, coaches, gym owners, and community members whose experiences reflect the strength, discipline, resilience, and growth of women's martial arts. Selected stories may be featured on the GOTM website, social media channels, or other approved Roll Gear and GOTM platforms.
Submitting a story does not guarantee publication. GOTM may contact you for additional information, photographs, fact-checking, or written approval before publishing a feature. Stories may be edited for clarity, length, grammar, and formatting while preserving their meaning. No story involving a minor will be published without confirmed parent or legal-guardian permission.
