You wouldn’t start training without stretching and warming up. Think of your morning routine as your morning warmup. This is where you prepare for the day ahead.

The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod

Recording, Theme Music, Editing, and Production of this podcast by Jen at The Brassy Broadcasting Company

Hillary VanOrnum, Owner and Head Instructor at Unicorn Jiu Jitsu, is the first instructor to be announced for the 2020 Women’s Roll Model Camp. She is a first-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Hillary’s biggest goal with Jiu-Jitsu is to get more women trying it and training. She wants to ease people into it and also give the ladies some real-life self-defense/practical applications of BJJ. She also encourages her female students to try competition as early as possible. She wasn’t able to compete much in her first several years of training because there weren’t many women training let alone competing. She values competition as an opportunity to test our skills against other females of similar size and experience.

Rachel Casias shares advice for new white belts and we discuss age and Jiu-Jitsu. When should you stop doing Jiu-Jitsu?

Questions for this episode were recorded live during the Q&A session at the 2019 Roll Model Camp in Indianapolis.

Starting Jiu-Jitsu can be overwhelming because there is so much to learn. It can feel even more overwhelming when you don’t start it until later in life.

• Build the foundation of your Jiu-Jitsu on something you enjoy
• Learn the points system
• Find what you’re good at and then starting adding to it
