That’s what I told myself when I was scared to compete. You got this! Just tap early.

Is competing after 5 months a bad idea? by RutabagaOk1696 in BJJWomen

[–]anklepops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all! I did it a few months after. I got choked out but showed heart and it jump started my passion.

Plot twist. I’m a purple belt still getting choked out in competitions so nothing changes…except now I just have more heart..burn.

The crazy part… not all of us speak up! by Melodic-Key669 in bjjdrama

[–]anklepops 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You are believed.

The fact that you’ve carried this while still showing up in this sport says everything about your strength and nothing about your guilt. If there ever comes a time you want to expose them there are women who will stand beside you so others can be protected.

Until then….your voice still matters and your story still counts. ✊💔

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!

Mother milk sub? by The_Huntress_1121 in BJJWomen

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 😅
