I received my black belt recently and am excited to share with women who do BJJ or are thinking of starting BJJ. I have been training for about 13 years and have had many ups and downs. I am grateful that I persevered. BJJ is so good for women, and I really want to encourage all of you. I will be 74 years old soon and have competed at Master Worlds five times (so far).....competition is not for everyone, but if you want to do it, I encourage you to give it a try. Grateful for BJJ and the wonderful community of people, near and far, who have supported me on my journey.
