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.

This weekend, 26th-28th August, the BJJ Ladies Camp, organized by Yasmin Sewgobind, took place in the Sportvision Gym in Eindhoven and it was an absolute success: 30 female fighters from all ages, belts and weights participated in this event becoming one of the biggest female BJJ events organized so far.
Girls from Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Austria, England, Belgium, Italy and more eat, sleep and train together BJJ and Grappling for two whole days.

Ana on the topic of BJJ experiences
Hey people, yesterday Samuel, some students from the Sportschule Hamburg and myself competed in Bremen in the fifth edition of the Hugging Day. This competition is particularly interesting because of its rules, which get to the core of the BJJ essence: you can win only by submission. There is not points and there is not time limit. A fight can only end if a fighter gives up (or get injured). Interesting, isn't it?
Samuel and I showed up in partner look, wearing our new rashguards and shorts sponsored by GiDirekt. It was a great and successful day, about which I would like to talk you about. So, this is not a review of the competition, it is just a short account about my own experience at this competition.

For reaching the highest place of the podium, the spanish team had to beat UK in the quarterfinals, Sweden in the semifinals and Finnland in the final match... and Samuel was the champion of the day...

Hi people,
We have arrived in Lisbon, though it has not been so easy. We were sooo close to cancel the whole trip...
