Gina Mancuso — 2x IBJJF World Champion
Black Belt (2024) — awarded by Dennis Pressey Jr. · 2x IBJJF World Champion
Gina Mancuso is a 2x IBJJF World Champion — titles won at purple and brown belt — and one of the most decorated female grapplers training in Philadelphia. She was promoted to black belt in 2024 by Dennis Pressey Jr.
At Logic she teaches all-levels classes and the beginners-only White Belt class. Two world titles gives her a level of detail most beginners never get access to this early, and she teaches it in plain language rather than competition shorthand.
Gina is a primary reason women drive in from across the region to train at Logic. Women train in the same classes as everyone else here — there's no separate, softer version of the curriculum — and having a world champion on the mat changes what a new female student believes is possible. She is SafeSport certified and background checked.
