Podcast with The BJJ Foxcast is out now! Alex was an amazing host and he asked really great questions about my experiences in BJJ and my mission. We discussed, moving up the ranks in the old days, what it's like to be a female school owner, sexism, womens' safety, weight cutting for youth competitors and lots more.
The secret to successful passing is to have combos or sequences. One thing after another lined up that your opponent has to defend against. Here I share a guard pass combo that is hard to stop.
