From standing on the podium at IBJJF No-Gi Worlds to facing life’s toughest battles, Bet has proven that resilience isn’t just for competition—it’s for life. In this episode, we sit down with Bet, a fierce purple belt and competitor, to talk about her journey through jiu-jitsu, competition, and personal loss.
After losing both her mother and sister in recent years, Bet stepped away from the mats to be with family. But despite the heartbreak, she found her way back to training, proving that sometimes the hardest fights happen off the mat.
We’ll also lighten things up with the story of her Master Worlds fiasco, featuring a last-minute gi crisis, a major shoulder injury, an ER trip, and Jenn somehow ending up in a bikini top at the Las Vegas Convention Center (twice).
In our Chill Zone, we’ll talk about what keeps Bet grounded outside of jiu-jitsu, and she’ll share what’s next on the horizon for her. Tune in for an episode full of heart, grit, and some absolutely wild competition stories!
