A quick chat with one of the women that attended the NoGi Women's seminar in Portland Oregon. 

Amanda Loewen is a black belt out of Oregon that has been training for about 15 years and was the first female black belt in Oregon.  She aims to be a legendary coach and she is well on her way down that path. I personally experienced learning from her at this seminar and it was truly amazing. Take a listen as I get to know her a little better as well as pick her brain about a few things :)

In this episode I had the chance to sit down and speak with Alex Enriquez and Faye Cherrier. They are both black belts training out of Atos in Georgia.  Alex was recently ADCC East coast trials winner,  IBJJF Nogi Worlds champion, and much more.  I got to meet them up close and personal as she was one of the teachers at the NoGi Summit Women's seminar in Portland, Oregon. They were both so sweet and welcoming, it was truly amazing to get to spend time with them as well as train and learn with/from them. Join me as I get to know them a little better :)

I got the opportunity at NoGi Summit to speak with Brianna Ste-Marie! She is a black belt training out of Canada. She is an ADCC medalist , IBJJF Gi and No-Gi Worlds medalist.
