Giada Pedretti is a purple belts who has been training for 6 years but started in 2015 at the age of 15, however the road has been a little bumpy. Her career started Japanese Jiu Jitsu in Italy, and transitioned to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu after a friend suggested she try it. The decision was an easy one at that stage. Making Jiu Jitsu a long term career is completely Giada's passion. Having visited Nottingham on a school excursion in 2017, she decided it was the place for her, and I discover why!

We talk about making Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a career, and the balance of education and training. Giada's passion and commitment is to be admired. The benefit of the mindset we learn through jiu jitsu is a life skill in itself. Listen out for some great competition advice.
