Episode 193 Published 1 year, 10 months ago

Description

We share our big takeaways and lessons from this year’s Roll Model Grappling Camp. Get a behind-the-scenes look at how the camp was curated to foster both Jiu-Jitsu skill development and a strong sense of community among women practitioners.

This year’s theme was "A rising tide raises all ships," a phrase AJ often employs to emphasize the power of collective improvement. This theme resonated throughout the weekend as attendees and instructors uplifted one another, reinforcing the idea that when one person grows, everyone benefits. Whether you were a white belt or a seasoned black belt, the emphasis was on mutual growth and community support.

This year marked a change as the camp featured "homegrown" Roll Models rather than bringing in big-name instructors. With instructors deeply embedded in the community. This approach reinforced the camp's theme of collective growth, proving that the strongest leaders often come from within.

Whether you attended the camp or not, this episode is packed with inspiration and actionable advice to elevate your jujitsu journey.
