Ana on the topic of BJJ competitions
And here I go with a new review. This time about the Submit'er Challenge, the first only-women competition I am aware of, organized by Vanessa Reinsch and Collaborators in Berlin on 22th/23rd October 2011.
As I always said when I write a review, this is my personal opinion in my personal blog, and I always write about the good and the bad things, with the aim to state what it should be kept as well as what it should be changed for coming years. You may agree or not with me, but that is my opinion.

Ana on the topic of BJJ Interviews
The new black belt Talita Nogueira from São Paulo, Brazil, is the new big name within the female BJJ world since she beated several black belts, including Penny Thomas in the medium heavy final, at the 2011 Worlds two weeks ago.
When on 5th June she won the most important BJJ championship in the world, she did not only make her dream true, she also inspired and became an idol for many people, specially women, since she is not a simple athlete, she is also a mum of a 7 years-old—daughter. She showed us that combining family and a World Champion title is not only possible, it is a reality.

Ana on the topic of BJJ in general
I haven't written in a while, partially because I didn't have the time but mostly because I didn't have a topic to write about. However, for a couple of days I have been wanting to write a certain article and finally today I found the time to do so. I would like to write about Katja Schulze and Susanne Skrobak, two friends of mine but above all, two clear examples of BJJ dedication, personal development and growth and how hard work gets paid off.
