Shelby Murphey has been training in the Art of Jiu Jitsu team ever since she was 10 years old.
And she is more than grateful for her growth with them:
At the age of 19, I have accomplished a feat that I have fantasied about since I was a 10 year old white belt – receiving my black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
The dream of winning a brown belt world title and being promoted on the podium started circulating in my teens when I learned that I would be working with the sport for the rest of my life.
I want to thank Professor Gui and Rafa Mendes for being my introduction into the world of Jiu-Jitsu.
Art of Jiu Jitsu has been my home since day one and I am so honored to receive my black belt from them.
