She’s Up to Doing Amazing Things This Weekend 🦸🏻‍♀️🥋🔺

One of the most incredible things about Gracie Barra is how it empowers each of us to find what is best within and share it with the world. Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art, it’s a way to discover our voice, our strength, and our ability to make a difference.

I’m so proud of you, my love, for finding your voice and helping so many women find theirs.

A huge thank you to the incredible team making the magic happen this weekend🙇🏽‍♂️
