Anne has been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since 2021 and has been wanting to do it for even longer. While in graduate school, her husband introduced her to Krav Maga, where the grappling lessons quickly became her favorite. After they moved to Virginia after graduating, they both started BJJ and she became hooked on the ebbs and flows of confusion, momentary understanding, and physical exhaustion. Apart from learning a challenging sport, Anne appreciates the dual ego check and inner confidence that BJJ provides. Anne has competed locally as a white and blue belt, and is looking forward to introducing the sport to other women! Outside of BJJ, Anne enjoys spending time with her family and hiking.
