Dani's journey of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu started in Qatar shortly after her Mother suddenly passed away. Taking steps to grieve, heal and grow through the art of Jiu Jitsu is something many of us turn to. One of Dani's friends during this time took her to her very first class, that she describes as 'Jiu Jitsu Heaven'!

Working through grief for Dani brought her a physical connection that was able to reconnect her emotionally to the present moment, on the mats. What comes through is that we don't know that we all need Jiu Jitsu until we start training. Dani now supports her club as an Assistant Coach, working with kids classes which echoes her teaching career, giving back to the community.
