An Incredible Event in Azle Texas! Six Female Black Belts on the Mat!

What a truly incredible weekend at Genesis jiu jitsu Azle the other weekend!!! I was honored to be visiting and teaching at a women run and women owned BJJ academy by the amazing Karen Banes. Karen is a total badass in her own right as a multiple times world champion and black belt and gym owner. It was an honour for me to teach at her gym that is women own, woman run! 💃.

On Saturday I taught a women’s workshop and Sunday I taught a co Ed seminar. I was blessed to have so many female Black Belts on the mat at my seminar!!! What a treat! 🖤🖤. These ladies had come far and wide from various different parts of Texas to attend. What an honor!

Three Champions Seminar in Virginia!

A belated post about the awesome shenanigans that went on the other weekend at Da Firma Training Center in Virginia. I was so honored to be a part of this event of the THREE CHAMPIONS event and teach alongside Master Calvacante, Professor Bruno Bastos and to be rubbing shoulders with fellow black belt badass, Heidi Tubbs.

Bikini Bodies with Kayla Harrison!

A throwback from the Princes Fuji Cruise. Doing a flex off the with incredible Kayla Harrison who is a multiple time Judo Olympian Gold Medalist! and a UFC Champion.

I do a ton of teaching and traveling as a head professor but one of the best things about what I do is the people I met and the places I go. Here on the cruise, we had the chance to enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches in St Thomas, Ive ever seen.

Our hard training and healthy lifestyle is what gets us these muscles. This is the result of doing what we love, day in day out. As a 4th degree Black Back in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I’ve put in many years into the sport and lots of blood, seat and tears. Kayla has spend decades perfecting the art in Judo and MMA.
