DOUBLE MEDALING AT ADCC PHOENIX: the Quest for DOUBLE GOLD in Women’s Jiujitsu

Still getting the hang of YouTube! Accidentally posted this before I was ready lol but here ya go!

ADCC Phoenix was rough for me. I had 2 weight cuts two weekends in a row. Definitely not my smartest decisions but I’d probably make them again. This really messed me up internally.

I was so excited to get out there and compete in 2 divisions! I loved the experience and the intensity. I love the game, I genuinely live for this and I’m so happy this is the life I chose.

I got gold in 65KG and silver in 60KG. Lost by points in the finals round.

I’m on my way to the top, I know there will be some road bumps, let’s watch it all happen.
