Biography

Elisabeth Clay is an American Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and one of the most dangerous leglock specialists in modern no-gi grappling. Known for her aggressive guard, powerful entries into leg entanglements, and a high submission rate, Clay has built a reputation as one of the most feared finishers in the sport.

A multiple-time IBJJF No-Gi World Champion and ADCC veteran, she has consistently performed at the highest levels against top international opponents. Her game blends technical precision with athletic guard retention, rapid transitions, and elite lower-body attacks that make her a constant threat from any position.

With her combination of submission-oriented strategy and world-class competition experience, Elisabeth Clay stands as one of the leading forces in women’s no-gi jiu-jitsu today.
