Keith Owen on: How to get More Women in Jiu Jitsu

[derrick ikwueme]

Derrick: besides Jiu Jitsu, Cora also excel in running. THat girl is FAST. She wanted to join the track league, but their schedule conflict with her Jiu Jitsu so, no track until she gets to middle school. Colleges doesn't offer scholarship for Jiu Jitsu (they should), but they do for track, hopefully she get good enough for that. Or there is always wrestling, just hope she can remember not to pull guard...LOL

If she gets a chance try soccer, you get crazy agility, speed, cardio, squirl running on a telephone line style balance, giant leg cannon muscles great for triangles. Scholarships, professional leagues, U.S national teams at every age group up to the senior team if selected, and international travel great for life experience. I was lucky enough to travel to mexico & the netherlands for youth soccer tourneyments with my club team at 12 & 15 that helped really open my mind to new things
