This post is on a subject most don't want to talk about but, one that effects us as women in BJJ.

One subject that wasn't touched was competing...Not only are you affected by discomfort, mood swings, cramps, breast pain, headaches, tiredness possible embarrassment (I like to compete in a white gi) but, it makes the weight cut a nightmare! Water retention, chocolate cravings, salt cravings, etc....
Believe me, I have thought about asking Gustavo to run his tournaments at a different time of the month lol
Here's another interesting story on this issue:
Chris Cyborg doesn't make weight do to "Girl Problems"
