Calling out all the capoeiristas, but most especially the LEADERS! This is me asking for you to listen and help me create this change. People get injured in capoeira on almost every capoeira event, even if they are masters and superstars. This is not injury due to contact this is usually energy due to accumulated stress. I’m here to not only highlight what we do wrong but also how to make a change...

It comes as no surprise that this is a common comment that women who train martial arts or any tough sport hear. This made me want to be the difference I wanted to see in the world, it gave me great purpose to continue to strive for leadership in the art. So let me inbox this and change your mind about this matter while empowering women to continue to strive to to be leaders in the arts too. Our s...

We much rather be busy than to deal with emotions, however self knowledge is literally the only way we can progress as martial artist. Emotions trapped in the body will present restrictions and postural imbalances and will keep you in physical, emotional, and mental pain. Let’s talk about using breath and unstructured movement as tool for healing.

It’s all about the collective, all of us want to be seen and heard but we have preset ideas of how we should connect with each other. Martial arts gives us a choice to pay attention to the others true self by struggling together towards growth in the art and each other. Are your preset ideas getting in the way of your growth? Are you able yo recognize your brother/sister ‘s victory and feel truly...

This is all about the stories we tell ourselves due to our excessive need to complain and almost romanticize the reason why we constantly get a new injury and live a life of pain!

Try is is a difficult time and our belief system around the female body and it’s capabilities are way off so let’s open this up and create some understanding between each other so we can all flourish. And ladies I’m dr...

Emotional regulation is something that is getting harder for us as a society. The clear lack of movement and map nutrition (junk food) of most of our population is probably the main difficulty we face as a species. Feeling anger, resentment or any other feeling perceived as negative is frowned upon so we stuff all of that down, and the body stores it physically for us. Movement is medicine and bre...

Our bodies and minds run of the program of our own perspective and narrative. We forget to take these mindful moments to find stillness or even to understand that any time we talk badly about our selves we are hurting ourselves deeply and dimming our own light. Being yourself is not an easy task, but honing that power can change everything including movement quality and healing. This also gives pe...

It’s been a while, life has shifted greatly! But with that also came the courage to begin a new reality and projects like our own school and the dreams of a home for a community of like minds. A community of people who are empowered by martial arts and fitness. However change can be difficult, and even scary! Specially with friends and even family projecting their fears about what IS NOT POSSIBLE....

As a community do we respect and support our art? Sadly the answer to that can be a big NO, due to ego and lack of self-respect (because we can only respect others at the level we respect ourselves). But sometimes also lack of belief in the system as a whole due to bad experiences with that a turbo Roth in the past. Let me enlighten you and change some narratives to help us hopefully understand a...

Once upon the time I thought being a female in martial arts was bad and a weakness. Competing with other women was what I was taught from childhood and it kept my ego fed and my soul self blinded not to mention it stunted my growth. The realization that sisterhood is truly the power I needed to hone to grow has been life changing. To all my sisters listen with love for yourselves in mind. To all m...

Our brain cannot tell the difference between a physical pain and one that is coming from our minds and emotions. Pain is always the result and we tend to be the ones who hurt ourselves the most, to the point where we purposely stunt our growth. What if I told you that the self-love can unlock your body and mind?! From better mobility, to better capability, better healing, and even less body pain....

Here I talk about the impact of accumulative stress on the body from training hard and not returning our nervous system back to base. We carry stress around like it’s normal and that turns off the body’s perception to pain. Craziness!! I gotchu tho.. with some bomb ass info and some practices to help you make the change. Please share, let’s help everyone to change this outdated narrative of being...

Leadership from a female perspective and the power of community and honoring the cycles of a woman and also of a human. So when you hear me talking about the brain just remember LEFT BRAIN MASCULINE, structure, plans… RIGHT BRAIN FEMININE, creativity, feeling and emotions. I might’ve messed that up when I spoke but it’s all good I promised the knowledge is fire! Don’t forget membership is up in f...

We often forget how powerful we are and give in to simple struggles because we are not rooted to ourselves. Martial arts is a lifelong search of mental and physical self mastery. But staying present enough to hone this skill and let go of false beliefs aka the ego is tough in this fast life we live….let’s dive deep! And as always I leave you some tangible practices to make the change within you. D...

From receiving complements to receiving criticism, are you open to receiving the lessons that life provides you for your growth. In martial arts that can be the difference between being good and being great. Learning from others is a lifelong journey in the arts. And to me being great is not about winning but more about being able to see the chessboard and understand the possibilities. For that yo...
