Gracie family’s most prestigious female black belt has had an extraordinary year. After organizing the spectacle of 2017 in that Roger Gracie Buchecha rematch at Gracie Pro she has set her heart on another event close to her heart – promoting female jiu jitsu.
Kyra recently wrote about her experience of being the only girl in bjj:
 That’s me, 11 years old, yellow belt and dreaming of being a black belt someday. â €
For many years I was the only girl in the gym, I often felt unmotivated, but my passion for jiu-jitsu and making my dream come true was greater than adversity. â €
I’ve been thinking about developing an exclusive women’s championship for some time, and that day has come. You are part of it! â €
Sign up and prepare for the Kyra Gracie Cup on March 24 in Rio de Janeiro (link in bio). See you there to show the strength of women in Jiu-jitsu
Link she refers to here.
The event is set to take place March 24th in Rio De Janeiro.
The female jiu jitsu scene has been in a bit of a rut with Mackenzie Dern orienting herself more towards MMA and the new generation emerging.
