Jane Foley Ram At The Fights interview on two Super Scrap matches

In the Jane Foley Ram At The Fights interview, Foley said she has two matches at Super Scrap Fights 7, including one against a woman in a higher weight class. She also told Ram At The Fights that she began jiu-jitsu after becoming a mother and now trains about five or six times a week while working and raising her child.

How does Jane Foley balance training and motherhood?

Jane Foley usually trains five or six times a week, but work and motherhood determine what she can manage. She would like to train every day. Some weeks allow an early session and another class later; on busier days, her responsibilities outside jiu-jitsu take priority.

Foley said she tries to train at least five times a week when she can. Her schedule is not fixed from one week to the next: she sometimes makes a 6 a.m. class or attends double classes, while other days leave no room for training.

That variation matters when looking at how often she competes. Foley is preparing for Super Scrap Fights 7 alongside a regular training schedule, not one that is free of interruptions. She described being a mother and working as the reasons she cannot simply train every day, even though she would like to.

What did Jane Foley say about her two Super Scrap Fights 7 opponents?

Jane Foley has two matches scheduled for Super Scrap Fights 7 on November 22: one against a woman in her weight class and another against an opponent one weight class above her. Foley expects the second matchup to test how well she can stay close and avoid giving a stronger opponent space.

The matchup in Foley’s weight class

Foley said the woman in her own weight class looks very good and that the two appear similar. She did not give her opponent’s name or describe a previous meeting, so her assessment centered on what she expects from the matchup rather than a shared competitive history.

The match one weight class up

Foley took the other match because the woman in the higher weight class did not have an opponent. She said she has watched that competitor for a while and described her as aggressive, strong and skilled.

As the smaller grappler, Foley has focused on being “sticky and tight” and not giving up space. She identified that as a particular challenge against someone strong. Foley also welcomed the chance for more women to compete on the event, saying that getting more women into these competitions is better for the sport.

Why did Jane Foley start jiu-jitsu after becoming a mother?

Jane Foley started jiu-jitsu after becoming a mother and had been training for two years at the time of the interview. Her daughter was about to turn two when Foley began. A former competitive gymnast, she wanted a demanding activity that held her attention in a way lifting weights and running had not.

Looking for the challenge gymnastics provided

Gymnastics had required intense focus and dedication when Foley was growing up. As an adult, she found it difficult to recreate that challenge. She said lifting weights and running were fine, but neither gave her the same feeling, and she was bored when she decided to try jiu-jitsu.

Returning the next day

Foley said she decided she would come back, did so the next day and continued training. She also believes her gymnastics background helps her learn jiu-jitsu. Flexibility was part of the conversation, but Foley pointed to her ability to be a good student as another benefit of that background.

Her reason for starting was straightforward: after becoming a mother, she needed something fun to do. What began as a way to find a new challenge became an activity she kept returning to and, eventually, competing in regularly.

Why does Jane Foley compete so often in jiu-jitsu?

Jane Foley competes frequently because she believes matches help her improve faster. She uses wins and losses to assess what worked, and competition also gives her opportunities to grapple with women when she does not have many women to train with regularly. She is grateful to be offered matches after two years in the sport.

Foley described competition as a way to bring useful feedback into her training. Rather than treating a match only as a result, she looks at what succeeded and what did not, then uses those observations to gauge her progress.

There is a practical benefit, too. Because she does not train with many women, an event lets her grapple with a woman and test herself in competition at the same time. Foley called it a “two for one” and said the opportunities are a reason to keep accepting matches.

Foley put her willingness to compete plainly:

So I'm never going to say no.

She said she feels grateful to be asked onto cards despite having trained for only two years. Her plan is to stay humble and keep going whenever those opportunities come.

Which horror characters did Jane Foley compare herself to?

Jane Foley compared herself to a character from The Exorcist when Ram At The Fights asked her to choose a horror-movie counterpart. She pictured the character moving like a spider across a bridge. Foley also considered Chucky, connecting that choice to being small and scary.

The comparison was playful rather than a claim about how she grapples. Foley’s first answer focused on the spider-like movement she associated with The Exorcist; she then offered Chucky as another possibility.

Her answer closed a conversation that had moved from the practical demands of training to two upcoming matches and the reasons she keeps competing. It also gave her a compact way to describe herself: small, but not someone an opponent should overlook.
