Empowering lives through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Grace Huang says she was lost and disempowered - until she found Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Now, she helps others find their "centre" through martial arts.

"We were having a really bad argument and I had the bedside table flung at me," she said. The table narrowly missed her.

But that was not the only aspect of her life that wasn't working out: "I was also running eBay seminars at that time, not knowing that my business partner had cheated people of money."

Ms Huang said she felt disempowered and aimless until she found Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), “Before, everything was like YOLO (you only live once), you know? And it was not nice when you YOLO-ed every day.”

Well, I believe in empowering people through martial arts. Although I prefer striking styles rather than grappling. Still, BJJ is a good style for women, since if a woman gets attacked, chances are good that it will be a 1 vs. 1 situation.

If you do get attacked by multiple opponents, I don't recommend "going to the ground" like what they teach in BJJ classes. Talk to the Krav Maga instructors. They will tell you that if you fall to the ground in a fight, you are as good as dead. So they have drills where you have to do your best to hit your opponents and not fall to the ground.

The true master doesn't get into fist fights to begin with.

Or go around telling people what they can and can't do on the floor.
