Petra Russell is Ranked Number 4 in the World at Super Heavyweight, and Number 15 at Blue Belt overall. She is a fan of NoGi and uses her positive mindset and mental preparation to win her matches. We talk about training for longevity, and finding ways to focus on physical and mental wellbeing in the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

There are so many fantastic heavyweight women showing up in the sport now that bring a different perspective to the sport. Whilst these divisions are growing, it is our responsibility to keep supporting either by taking part in competitions, or supporting fellow team mates to show up.
