As Women's History Month continues, we're taking a look at a new class designed for women by women.

Mata Leão Jiu-Jitsu on West 15th street has a new women's only program. The classes are Monday nights at 5:30pm.

The Instructor, Rhonda Longo, has been practicing Jiu-Jitsu for 7 years. She tells us that she started this class as an opportunity for women to empower themselves through learning jiu-jitsu techniques.

Longo fells that Jiu-Jistu helps her build confidence and get in a workout. She says that no experience is necessary, and the first class is free. She spoke with our Megan Solensky Live during Erie News Now Sunrise.
