After ‼️eight years ‼️ of training BJJ I’ve FINALLY won my first ever Gi match and I won it in the first Gi I had ever bought. 💖 I’ve been working really hard on positional dominance in training (which is hard when you’re often the smallest in the room lol) but I finally feel like my efforts are paying off! Finished the match at @endured_professional with an s-mount arm bar variation thing (can someone confirm what the finish is?) within 91 seconds. 💫 Thanks to @fran_lana_kika for cornering me ❤️And, as always, thanks to my team @theresistanceldn @cuddleclubjj and to my friends for always believing in me. 🫶🏻🙂‍↔️ Year of the Horse let’s goooooo 🐎 #bjj #gi #bjjwomen #bjjgirls #brazilianjiujitsu

Fastest sub of the night 🥇 I’ve been working on my back control lately so it felt good to get the body lock and finish via RNC, to get the sub cash win & fastest sub of the night. 💰 Perhaps my fastest submission yet? 19 seconds. 👹🤸 Thanks to my opponent for flying in from Barcelona, to make the match happen, thanks to @grapple_worlds for putting on such a well-run, organised event (and also for providing cash prizes for athletes - things we love to see). 🫶🏻 And of course, thanks to my pal @armgod98 in my corner, my team at the @theresistanceldn , and everyone else who helps me to level up my game each time I step on the mats. Next comp is the @freshlybaked_fightwear 8-woman tournament in the Black Country ☝🏻 so if you’re about, come watch us ladies battle it out. 🎥: @edralph.infocus 🤼‍♀️: @grapple_worlds

What a privilege it was to get to be Charl T’s - now Charl A’s - bridesmaid. 🥲 I’ve known Charl since we were 7 or 8 years old, and we met at Stagecoach 😂 We then ended up living on the opposite side of the road to one another growing up, and we’ve been best friends for a solid 20 years now. She’s one of the best women I know. She inspires & guides the most underprivileged kids in Blackpool at her work, she is one of the most kind, understanding and emotionally intelligent people I know. As her Dad said in his speech- she just loves to help people, no agenda - it’s just who she is. This love goes beyond her work and into her friendships & romantic life too. From performing in Alice & Wonderland (and me not being one of the flower girls with you <\3), to house parties most weekends, to trying to find an illegal rave and never quite getting there, to being grown ups with degrees and big girl jobs - Charl has lived through everything with me and, likewise, I have with her. I wouldn’t be who I am today without our friendship and I love you so much @charltitto . When she met @mrandert0n I just knew that she was going to marry him. They are the perfect pair. The energy in the room when you two did your vows had everybody crying because they could feel the love radiating off you both. 🥹 To watch two wonderful people find each other and put everything they’ve got into one another is so beautiful. I love you guys. I love your love. And I’m so glad you’ve found each other. 💘 May your love live forever guys X

The most wonderful day celebrating the marriage of two beautiful humans @sofitee & @uptomymoustache 🙂‍↔️ 💒 It was a completely sober wedding and I’ve never danced and sung so much in my life!!! Voice hurts from singing. Feet hurt from dancing. Hands hurt from clapping. All worth it. And thanks to the ladies for making me laugh every second of it too. What a special day. Heart feels full again. 💓

Please message me if you know any Editors who would be interested in an investigative piece on the fight to get predators out of combat sports. It feels like every day I open this app someone new is accused of crimes against women and/or children. A black belt, or being a high level in any combat sport, does not make you exempt from the law or consequences. A lot of women - myself included - start combat sports because they’ve come out of an abusive relationship or have been sexually assaulted. So to hear that women and children are being assaulted ON THE MATS is beyond disgusting and quite literally NOTHING is being done about it. This is happening over and over again and again. Please DM me with suggestions of Editors and/or publications you think this would suit. I want this to reach further than the martial arts community - it needs to go mainstream. I’ve been a journalist for over 10 years and I was also a main staff writer at multiple grappling magazines over a four year period. I’m more than qualified to write and discuss this. But as mentioned, I don’t want industry magazines I want major publications. If you stayed for the whole video or managed to read up to here - thank you. We need to stop ignoring these things - the fight doesn’t end until we ALL stand up for one another.

No vibe is better than doing ninja shit in the sun 🥷 “It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a garden at war” and all that [insert more cringey martial arts quotes] #martialarts #ninja #bostaff #sun #weapons

This shit is as hard as it looks and, yes, I’ve already dropped it on my foot. 😅 You can also see where I go wrong every time (I need to keep my hand roughly in the middle of the stick). But one trick at a time and I’ll get there! Looking forward to learning something new and watching my progress!!! 😎 #bostaff #martialarts #weapon #weapons #chinesemartialarts
