I think I require a lot of different kinds of input for learning. So I try a combination of all of the above. I like watching Emily Kwok, Beatrice Jin, and Cassia Moura. They have styles that are very different from each other, but I enjoy seeing what kind of decisions they make and what battles are hardest/easiest for each one.

Why do you think pulling guard is so frowned upon when people like Adele Fornarino make it a bedrock of their game? Since it is clear that specializing is a great way to win competitions, why push someone to be a generalist and have a "well-rounded" game?

Her accomplishments by pulling guard:

  • 1st Place ADCC (2024**)

  • 1st Place IBJJF Pan Championship (2023)

  • 1st Place IBJJF World Championship NOGI (2025)

  • 1st Place IBJJF European Championship NOGI (2023)

  • 1st Place ADCC Oceania & Asia Trials (2022 / 2023 / 2024)

  • 2nd Place IBJJF World Championship NOGI (2023)

  • 2nd Place CBJJ Brazilian Nationals (2023)

  • GrappleFest U60KG Title Superfight (2023)

I wasn't allowed to do wrestling when I was in high school. I knew as an adult, there were few things in my way aside from finding a discipline I wanted to do it under and a place I felt comfortable.

What is your goal when you go into sparring and how often does it change? Every round/session? Every week? Monthly? Person-to-person?

What is an obstacle you had to overcome in order to improve your jiu jitsu?

I like to isolate the technique because my brain can sometimes only handle one piece of information at a time. Plus, when I run into a problem executing, adding the next piece feels like a natural progression after I see what purpose the next part of the system plays in trying to achieve a certain outcome.
