Truly a good day today @bjj_nga ladies trio! My teammates @nikkicuddlejitsu and Caitlin brought the heat so hard I only got one match on our path to gold!
My match was against a very tough black belt lady and was such a scrap back and forth we won fight of the night!
@timdawsonbjj your encouragement, coaching and support was everything today and everyday. I'm only back on the competition mats because you believed I could do it. So grateful to have a partner who shares my warrior heart ❤️
The Hangman Breakdown 💀
Step 1️⃣ From mount, run your opponent up onto their side
Step 2️⃣ Fully lock the RNC grip
Step 3️⃣ Lift + BIG squeeze 💥
In all my years of jiu jitsu, I always struggled to finish arm triangles — until this year. The game changer was recruiting my legs and actually lifting my opponent off the mat to create a MUCH stronger squeeze 🔥
Currently at 4 matches finished by hangman and counting. Give it a try next time you’re in mount and let me know how it hits 👊

Try this when your female training partners have super flexible hips 👀
If you can’t break them down with your usual techniques, give this a shot instead 💥
Shoutout to @samjobacon for volunteering as tribute and surviving my abuse 😂

GI or NOGI there is more in this question than simply preferences specially when you have a tight schedule to train. Follow the back and forth of Maia on that question. @maiamatalon@jitsuteiras
Getting to do what I love with @timdawsonbjj is, for me, the definition of wealth.
I've never had to explain myself or my orientation towards jiu jitsu, to Tim.
From injury recovery to competition highs, from crushing accountability after a loss, to training room dynamics; he doesn't just sympathize, he's lived it. Those of us who truly love to fight are few and far between. I'm so lucky to do life with a fellow warrior.
As always, wearing @gaidama.usa

I’m obsessed with the Aegis sports bra from @gaidama.usa 🔥
You know how most sports bras are either cute or functional? This one is both 🙌 The high neck and contoured sides keep everything completely secure, whether you’re training gi, nogi, or wrestling your almost 4-year-old on the playground 😂
The sewn-in cups don’t shift or come out in the wash and the adjustable back straps are actually cute, not just practical ✨
And like everything Gaidama does, the sizing is on point 💯 My favorite light featherweight @itsemileeey looks amazing in hers, and your favorite heavyweight (me) feels just as good in mine 💪 You can really tell that this bra was designed by women for women 🫶
Didn’t accomplish my goals at ADCC WCT, but I’m proud of this match against the incredibly tough Emma Reusing. Being able to hang with athletes 10+ years younger is a testament to the guidance of @timdawsonbjj and @asim_nvbc … (and maybe a very hard head from yours truly 😅).
Back at it this weekend at @torocupbjj for the heavyweight Grand Prix—and you already know I’ll be rocking @gaidama.usa 🔥

Fit check for ADCC West Coast trials where I DON'T have to make weight. Because when you're an @asim_nvbc athlete you don't have to be super lean to see your muscles.

I can't wait to fight 🔥
And in her 17th year of jiu jitsu… she learned to triangle.
I've had triangles on the brain lately—flowing, sparring, even in local comps. The beautiful thing about jiu jitsu is that there’s always room to grow, evolve, and add something new to your toolbox.
Triangles were always a struggle for me, despite having literally world-class instruction (my guess is a big part of my issue was core strength—but that’s a whole other post 😅). It's been so fun to finally use the most famous jiu jitsu submission 🔥.
What are you working on adding to your game right now?
