Last week my article was published in Jiu JIteira Magazine. I was honored to be on the front cover wrapped in my home country’s flag, proudly representing being the 1st Aussie female to be awarded a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In this interview I discuss my journey as a female practitioner in a man’s world and the many issues that women have to face in this sport. These issue run deep and I am proud to be speaking up and brining awareness to them. I talk about being an empowered female who owns her feminine strength and why its not necessary to suppress your beauty and femininity in order to be taken seriously. I discuss solutions to bring necessary change to demolish the archaic patriarchal system that is in Jiu Jitsu and in society in general so that everyone can thrive. https://jiujiteiramagazine.com/sophia-mcdermott

So for all the trainers out there who have a client who is on the fence about lifting those bigger dumbbells for fear of getting too bulky, have her read this and I guarantee it will change her mind.
Having muscle on your frame doesn mean you are masculine. It means you are fit, healthy and strong which is all about feminine strength.
