For the past 11 years, I've been deeply involved in the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I have to admit, though, that I initially hesitated to try it myself due to my own nerves and doubts.

About 4 years ago, I finally took the leap and started training BJJ.

After putting in two years of hard work under influential BJJ instructors and developing a strong passion for the art, I was promoted to the rank of blue belt.

My husband, Tony Sullivan, who happens to be a black belt in BJJ and a retired Birmingham Police Officer, has been a tremendous support and training partner for me.

BJJ has genuinely had a profound impact on my life, offering a sense of safety and preparedness. I hope that by sharing my knowledge and experiences, I can empower other women to feel more confident and capable in navigating the challenges of the world.
