This week Metamoris announced their next PPV event line-up, set to take place on May 9th, headlining Josh Barnett vs Roberto Abreu Cyborg. Lots of big names but surprisingly no women! Out of six Metamoris events, including the upcoming one, only one has had a women’s match.

The first time Metamoris had a women’s jiu-jitsu fight on the card, was back in June, 2013. Michelle Nicolini and Mackenzie Dern fought hard, and the high-intensity match resulted in a draw. Hopes were high that this would open doors for other female athletes. Sadly the doors remain closed, and viewers are getting grumpier. Why no women are invited to compete at Metamoris remains a mystery. It is really not that hard to find top-notch, hard-working grapplers; just look around!

Could this be the next big thing in women’s jiu-jitsu and grappling? Possibly.

Jiu-jitsu is terrifying and beautiful at the same time. It brings us tremendous happiness but also disappointment, tears, and soul-searching; it exhausts our minds and bodies to the core. Embrace the pain, learn from failure, and you will make it to the top of the podium!

Here are some of the best women’s bjj pictures from 2015 Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championship. Enjoy!

As the biggest tournament of the year, IBJJF World Championship 2014, is getting close, athletes are doing their last-minute drills fine-tuning their best escapes and submissions. The competition in women’s jiu-jitsu is tougher than ever, and last year’s victory does not make winning this year easier. The ones who strive to be better even when they are the best will prevail. The true champions must also be prepared to live with the failure. Having the courage to step on the mat knowing that there is a possibility of defeat separates them from the rest of us.

Winning by advantage points is getting more and more frowns lately. Some believe that the only way to really win is to submit your opponent. Others believe that a win by points or advantages is just as valuable. Many times the competitors are so even that the referee has to decide which competitor had greater offense, and came closest to scoring a possible point. Leaving it to the referee’s hands will most likely make the loser replay the match in her head over, and over, wondering what she should or could have done. Anyone who trains knows how hard it is to submit someone who has been training as hard as you, if not more. It takes great timing, technique, and the right amount of intensity to catch your opponent. There is nothing gentle in a submission but it’s beautiful and admirable.

It is exhilarating to win by submission. It is even greater if a photographer captures the exact moment when the opponent’s hand is tapping. Here are some of our favorite submission shots. We hope you like them!

Fenom Kimonos is excited to bring back black-belt world champion and leader of the Gracie Humaita women’s team Leticia Ribeiro to Austin, Texas! If you’ve never been to one of Leticia’s seminars, you don’t want to miss this one. Leticia’s instruction style is not only technically out of this world, you just know she loves Jiu-Jitsu by the way she pours her heart into teaching each student. AND, as an added bonus, black-belt Beatriz Mezquita will be on the mat with Leticia making it a sweet two-for-one deal. It will be the best $60.00 you spend this summer!
