  1. I especially liked this part:

    Ko continues to advocate for a larger presence of women in a sport primarily dominated by men. She encourages other women to train
    and compete. [...]

    “Jiu-jitsu has instilled confidence and self-reliance in me. It’s the core part of who I am,” Ko said. “Jiu-jitsu, I think, is important for women because it gives them the tools to protect themselves. Their presence in a male dominated sport proves the essence of the jiu-jitsu, which is technique over brawn.”


    It's great to see that female BJJers are becoming more prominent now, and most importantly, for their abilities, not how they look.
