Cindy "Sleeper" Hales is one of the first ever women to earn a black belt in jiu-jitsu, and is opening her own school in Lynnwood, Washington, this spring. One of the famous "dirty dozen" first 12 women black belts, Cindy talked with Jeff & Lourdes about jiu-jitsu history, training philosophy and vegan straight edge punk rock, among other things. Plus, we got to talk about Bikini Kill. Check out Cindy on instagram at @sleeper96!
