This past weekend, on August 20, GMA Gustavo Dantas purple belt Kristina Barlaan (Nova União) hosted the Second installment of Inspire, a women-only open mat in Mesa, Arizona. With over 65 ladies representing 24 different schools registered, some of whom made the trip over from Las Vegas and Southern California, it has become apparent that not only is female Jiu-Jitsu expanding, its opening doors and breaking barriers. Kristina Barlaan speaks on how her simple idea is starting to make some major waves:
What brought you to first put Inspire together?
Originally, my thoughts were concentrated on promoting a women-only Jiu-Jitsu tournament, but then a local female Jiu-Jitsu enthusiast voiced her opinion to me saying that there are many ladies who want to roll with other women but were intimidated by the idea of competing. I worked from this suggestion and within a week I was setting up the very first Inspire.
