For women looking to better their jiu jitsu, learn from a multiple world champion, train with and meet other women in the sport, Leticia Ribeiro is running her 4th Women’s Grappling Camp in San Francisco, CA. This annual event is run by the bay area women’s Jiu-Jitsu team, the Sweaty Betties.
What started as a one time seminar turned into a reoccurring 3-day camp with the 7x world champion and her team of top female competitors. How it evolved is explained by coordinator of the event and founder of the Sweaty Betties, Mollii Khengsengsing:
“In 2010, I called her up and asked if she would be willing to come to the Bay Area and teach an all women BJJ seminar. She agreed but asked for 25 female participants. I hung up the phone. Five minutes later, I called her back and confessed that I don’t know 25 BJJ females and I’m not sure if I can get 25 BJJ ladies. In fact, I don’t know more than 5 (at the time)! She assured me that if we can’t get 25, we’ll make the seminar co-ed. Relieved, I started putting the word out. The three hour seminar filled up. We added a second three hour seminar. That one also filled up. In fact, we had to turned ladies away. The two seminars were a complete success! The following year we decided to expand the seminar to a 3 day camp, and that’s how the Women’s Grappling Camp w/ Leticia Ribeiro came about.”
