We also discuss her martial arts journey and how she went from karate to jiu jitsu, worked her tail off and becoming a multiple time world champion. We discuss the challenges and nuance of building jiu jitsu programs for women, why women should consider jiu jitsu, and why jiu jitsu gyms should be more considerate of women.
