POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

We had a blast hosting the seminar with @edgar.massara.santos , a fifth-degree black belt from Brasília, Brazil.
His experience in MMA, Muay Thai, and Luta Livre offered us a new perspective on submissions and game plans.
@gigesfnbjj was an excellent translator who inspired us to continue training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by sharing his experience.

Great classes with Professor @adrianoluciobjj yesterday at Deo Jiu-Jitsu.

We are very grateful for Professor Adriano taking the time to visit us and share a little of his incredible experience and knowledge with our students. As a 6th Degree Black Belt, he reinforced important values such as discipline, respect, and the importance of never giving up.

Thank you again, Professor Adriano, for inspiring everyone on and off the mats. OSS! 🥋🔥

What an incredible Self-Defense Seminar this morning!

Amazing to see so many women stepping on the mats, learning real techniques, building confidence, and pushing past their limits.
This is what Jiu-Jitsu is all about, empowerment, awareness, and strength.

You don’t need experience to start. You just need the courage to take the first step.
Come try a class and see how Jiu-Jitsu can change your life, on and off the mats.

Saturday morning full of learning on the mats. 🥋

Having Professor Bernardo Pitel visit is always a great pleasure. Beyond his high technical level, he always shows great generosity in sharing his knowledge, details, and experience in Jiu-Jitsu.

After more than 20 years crossing paths on the mats throughout life, it shows how Jiu-Jitsu has the power to connect people over time, always through respect, friendship, and constant evolution.

Now it’s time to get back to training and put into practice everything we learned.

Small improvements > Big talk. This week was about refining details, fixing mistakes, and pushing limits. Progress isn’t always linear, but the work never lies. Who else is obsessed with getting 1% better every day? 🥋🔥#NoShortcuts #bjjlifestlye

I didn’t find sports — sports found me. And I can’t imagine my life any other way.

National Girls & Women in Sports Day is a reminder of the strength, resilience, and impact women have in this industry, and I’m endlessly grateful to be part of it. This career has challenged me, inspired me, and introduced me to some of the most incredible people I know.

Being a woman in sports isn’t always easy. The long hours, the late nights, the constant pressure to prove yourself — it’s challenging. But it’s also powerful. We get to shape fan experiences, build communities, and make an impact in ways that matter. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Sports have given me purpose, passion, and a second family. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the incredible women who have guided, supported, and uplifted me — Jamie Martin, DeLancey Giannini, Sabrina Reed, Dani Polen, and Mary Lois Brady. Your leadership and friendship have shaped me in ways I’ll always be grateful for, and I hope to pay it forward just like you did for me.

And while they aren’t women, I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am without Dr. Chris Croft and Mr. Hunter Reed. Thank you for always believing in me, for seeing things in myself that I couldn’t, for encouraging me, and for supporting me every step of the way. You empower so many women in sports, and I am forever grateful to have learned from you.

But this day isn’t just about celebrating how far we’ve come — it’s about recognizing how far we still have to go. Women belong in this industry. Women of color belong in this industry. But for too many, access, opportunities, and representation are still barriers we haven’t fully broken down. It’s our job to keep pushing forward, creating change, and making this space more inclusive for the next generation.

Here’s to the women in sports — past, present, and future. We belong here. 🏟️🩷
