This coming weekend marks the 8th anniversary for Girls In Gis, which is an amazing organization dedicated to bringing women together in BJJ and providing a support network. Girls in Gis have grown exponentially over the past few years and it is so awesome to see how collectively woman can build something so amazing. I am super honoured to be the guest instructor along with the super talented Hannette Staack. We will both be sharing some techniques in a seminar the following day. Please book your spots asap for this event. It will be an opportunity not to be missed.
I am soooooo looking forward to this event - being by the beach, spending time with other amazing ladies and getting a much needed break. My Lifestyle Camp is coming upin just over a month and I have a few spots available. Please email me at Sophia@sophiaFIT.com for any questions or to book your spot. I have a fabulous team who are going to teach yoga, meditation and workshops with me. I would also like to thank our awesome sponsors for the event who will be providing some goodies in the goodie bag!
This is a time to train but to also relax, recharge and focus on you. My camp covers all aspects of health, with all nutritious, healthy meals provided, workouts and bjj training and then yoga performed by the lovely Jasmine Bienvenue. The emotional/spiritual/mental aspect will be covered in empowerment and meditation workshops by the amazing Tina West.
Who says broccoli is boring? There are so many ways that we can make super healthy food delicious and still keep it healthy, in that it is mostly raw to retain all the enzymes which we need for digestion (and pretty much every other function in our bodies). Broccoli is loaded with vitamins and minerals and has anti cancer and anti inflammatory properties.
Next week I will be heading over to the East Coast for some more seminars. I will be taching out of Da Firma Training Center and teaching a co ed seminar on the Saturday and then a women's only workshop on the Sunday. Please book your spot with Ricardo at www.dafirmatc.com
My Master Worlds Camp that I held last week at the UFC gym in Blue Diamond turned out to be unreal!. There were so many different people from so many different parts of the word who attended. We had people from Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico and all across the USA. The morning workshops were ladies only and the evening sessions were for both guys and girls. It was a good opportunity for me to be able to teach techniques that work better for women in the morning sessions but then also share the love of BJJ in general in the evening sessions.
The focus of all the sessions were to keep sharp and stay moving. I did lots of drilling and reps for fundamental movement patterns and we discussed points and strategies.
Teaching the ladie's morning session one of my favourite passes.
The evening session had a great turn out of men too. Gone are the days where only men taught. Ladies are out in the front teaching also. Jiu Jitsu is Jiu Jitsu and we can learn from everyone regardless of gender or size.
So many of the peeps who attended went onto compete and medaled at the podium. I am super proud of all of you for getting out there and putting it all on the line!
Stay tuned for more events that I will be holding at the UFC gym... I am excited and grateful for all the opportunities and all the amazing people who cross my path in the sport that we all love.
