On this episode of the podcast I am sitting down with Kristina Barlaan. Kristina is a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt under Caio Terra, having also trained extensively with Gustavo Dantas. Widely regarded as one of her generation’s main light-featherweight BJJ competitors, Barlaan’s reputation was earned through important wins in some of the sport’s prime tournaments, particularly in the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) circuit,where she won Asian, European and Pan American titles. In this episode we get into the power of vulnerability, Kristina's journey with mental health and personal growth, as well as her jiu jitsu journey.
