Rachel joins me from the middle of the deep blue sea and shares her 19 year white belt journey, she is very much the one doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, not her belt. Rachel truly shares some fantastic insights from her growth during the nineteen years of training Jiu Jitsu, and this episode really shares the growth one can have with time and commitment, over and above the need for speed to achieve.

Heading into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gyms with the mindset we wish to be treated with is so important. Rachel reinforces the thought and action to own your space as a woman in Jiu Jitsu, taking up space, and to feel like you are welcomed, wherever you train. Let's see if Rachel ever makes it to Hawaii to train BJJ!

Topics:

• Long standing White Belt
• Chasing a Belt mindset
• Patience
• Training at different gyms
• Women training BJJ
• Community
• Keeping interested
• Planning to train or compete
• Gym Tips for BJJ
