In today’s episode, we sit down with Heather Woods, a seasoned BJJ black belt, world traveler, world champion competitor & dedicated coach, to unpack her unique path through jiu-jitsu. Heather began her journey with BJJ as a wanderer - traveling the world, exploring different gyms, and immersing herself in various training cultures. Over time, her dedication led her to earn her black belt from Atos Jiu-Jitsu under legendary coach Andre Galvao. Beyond the podiums, Heather’s story is incredibly special because of the breadth of her experience - training in gyms across the world, absorbing different styles, and refining a unique, well-rounded approach to BJJ.
