Hillary VanOrnum, Owner and Head Instructor at Unicorn Jiu Jitsu, is the first instructor to be announced for the 2020 Women’s Roll Model Camp. She is a first-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Hillary’s biggest goal with Jiu-Jitsu is to get more women trying it and training. She wants to ease people into it and also give the ladies some real-life self-defense/practical applications of BJJ. She also encourages her female students to try competition as early as possible. She wasn’t able to compete much in her first several years of training because there weren’t many women training let alone competing. She values competition as an opportunity to test our skills against other females of similar size and experience.
