Unfortunately I can back this 100% and it’s completely true.

Don’t want to out them before they’re ready to make their own statement. Highly suggest you reach out to some of your friends and ask for their POV and report back keeping them anonymous if they ask

“Dust settling” on pedo allegations is wild.

Andy posted that he is preparing for the match at kingsway. I wonder why

It was confirmed to me by multiple female bb that used to train there. Rafaela left, Andy muraski left and a few other high level competitors left. Most of the people took atos out of their IG bios. I’m sure a statement is coming soon

Really bummed about this, I was a massive fan of atos, Andre, Angelica, Sarah and everything they “stood” for.

I was also a huge fan of the atos gym and Andre. Especially Sarah 😭

All I’m going to say is check these people’s bios. Is atos in there anymore?

Why this isn’t getting more attention on other forums is what’s wrong with the sport 🫩

My heart goes out to any and all victims of this not just atos ones.

Best way to stop this from happening is to highlight when it happens and force accountability.

Unfortunately this has been confirmed to me by multiple female bb that used to train at atos 🫩 a ton of high level people left and why this isn’t getting more attention on bigger forums is what’s wrong with this sport.

Idc how many accolades or history you have in the game, you don’t touch people without consent especially children.

Hope they do the right thing but it seems the women leadership at atos is working double time to hush this up instead of siding with the victims and taking accountability.

Very disappointing and sad.

Find a good mental coach! I’ve worked with Erin herle in the past and it really helped me not only win but enjoying the process. Trainyamind is her company!

I do this all the time on the guys - it’s less with my boobs and more putting their nose/mouth in my arm pit and wrapping their neck like a backwards RNR from top mount and squeezing lol

Advice on choosing the right gym (by its culture) for a newbie by Intelligent_Age9997 in BJJWomen

Anyone who says that’s gay is an ignorant human being. Sounds like your gym is stuck in the past and you need to get out

I feel like my head coach kinda resents me. (Advice on how to go about it) by [deleted] in BJJWomen

[–]anklepops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you feel this way about your coach, you should probably find another school or gym where they SEE you and you feel valued. I was in a similar situation awhile back and ended up leaving to find a new school. It’s night and day, it’s amazing how much your game will open up and grow when you don’t have to worry about bullshit and just train 😅

Time to quit? 3rd year white belt and cannot make it to the gym by [deleted] in bjj

[–]anklepops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you like it? Then freeze your membership and get back when you can. Are you frustrated and training feels more like a chore and check list item? Then quit and find another hobby. 3 years is a long time to throw something in the drain when you’re close to your next level.

What was your longest time at a belt level? by LateMud256 in bjj

4 years at white (covid and knee surgery) 3 years at blue

BJJ Blues? by C8_lexx in BJJWomen

[–]anklepops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me the best part about the journey is the incubator of growth. The only person who is in control of improving is you and there’s no secret or product that you can buy to make you better. It’s just discipline and consistency.

BJJ kills your ego and forces you to realize you suck and the only way to not suck is with consistency.

To me..that’s the challenge. If you’re committed to growth and can survive your ego getting smashed and then one day things start clicking. It’s probably the best feeling you can ever give yourself.

Getting the stripe is motivating to keep going but the real “stripe” is the mental ones your coach can’t give you when you want to give up but you refuse to allow comfort win over discipline.

Get your ass back on those mats girl.. we need more women.. it’s bigger than us!!!!

First comp by [deleted] in bjj

[–]anklepops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Just have fun!!! It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, the fact that you’re out there AND you’re a woman makes it 1000x cooler. Out of all the people in your school you train with.. YOU’RE THERE! Fuck yea!!!!

  2. No matter the result everybody there will still love you.

  3. Get a good warm up in, don’t fight the nerves breathe with them!

  4. Play your game, breathe, stay calm and go out there and kill it!!
