This past weekend Caio Terra black belt Kristina Barlaan taught her first Women’s Jiu-Jitsu as a black belt at GMA school Seamless Progression Academy, in Port Washington, Wisconsin.
Kristina is on the rise and fast becoming one of the best female Jiu-Jitsu fighters in the World.
She is a 4x Pan Jiu-Jitsu Champion, 7x American National Champion, and a ADCC Veteran (Beijing 2013) with dozens of major IBJJF event wins to date.
In attendance were nearly two-dozen female Jiu-Jitsu practitioners from across Wisconsin.
This event brought together fighters from 7 different gyms not in competition but as a community dedicated to improving individual prowess.
Participants from Four Winds Martial Arts (West Allis) – Carlson Gracie Team, Gracie Academy (Milwaukee) – Gracie Academy Team, Legacy Martial Arts (West Bend) – Carlson Gracie Team, Neutral Ground Academy (Grafton) – Neutral Ground Team, One World Martial Arts (Appleton) – Team Curran, Red Schafer MMA (Milwaukee) – Team Pedro Sauer, and Seamless Progression Academy (Port Washington) – Carlson Gracie Team supported the event.
A larger event will be hosted next year to accommodate the interest in Kristina’s return.
