Jayme-Lee Wells

Jayme-Lee Wells sought a slower, less exhausting approach to sparring.

Biography

Jayme-Lee Wells began training at Horsham BJJ with her husband, Xav, in November 2021. In the school’s member interview, she values helpful partners and shared laughter, and recognizes progress as techniques connect during sparring. She wanted time to see alternatives, rather than spend all her energy forcing one attack. She favored guillotines and lapel half nelsons. Xav praised her dedication; Tayleka Gregor hoped to pass her guard. In October 2023, the Weekly Advertiser named her among Horsham’s Melbourne Will-Machado competitors, coached by Jesse Millar.
