## Overview

**Event Type:** Camp

**Description:** Join the Ultimate Women’s No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu Experience Co-Owner and Co-Head Instructor at Oregon Grappling Arts In 2012, Hannah embarked on her jiu-jitsu journey at a modest gym in California. After dedicating herself to training for several years, she made the decision to prioritize her path as both a jiu-jitsu competitor and instructor. This led her to leave her full-time job in 2015 to pursue a role as a youth jiu-jitsu instructor at a gym in Portland, while also taking on a part-time position at a local bookstore. After seven years of relentless training, Hannah achieved the milestone of earning her black belt in 2019.

Hannah has solidified her reputation as one of the foremost no-gi competitors in the Pacific Northwest. Notably, she attained the #4 ranking for female no-gi grapplers in her weight class (135 lbs) by Flograppling. Her accolades include being an IBJJF Nogi World Silver Medalist at Black Belt Adult, an IBJJF Nogi World Champion at Brown Belt Adult, and a Nogi American National Champion at Black Belt Adult. BJJ Black Belt and 2x Medusa CJJ Champion Aislinn O’Connell is a highly skilled no-gi grappler and two-time Combat Jiu-Jitsu Champion, recognized for her aggressive, submission-focused style. With expertise in positional control, submission chains, and the integration of striking into grappling, she has earned a reputation as both a fierce competitor and a strategic coach. Her experience in high-pressure competitions provides valuable insight into the mental and physical demands of jiu-jitsu. Aislinn’s coaching philosophy centers on efficiency, creativity, and adaptability, making her a key resource for athletes looking to refine their skills in both traditional no-gi and combat jiu-jitsu. Black Belt under Andre Galvao Amanda Bruse, a rising star hailing from ATOS Jiu Jitsu in San Diego, California, has been mentored by the legendary Andre Galvao. In an impressive journey, she attained her black belt in just 6 1/2 years, all while juggling the responsibilities of being a full-time college student and dedicating herself to teaching and training at ATOS.

In 2019, she made her mark as the Purple Belt Featherweight Champion, earning a bronze medal in the open weight category. Amanda's remarkable achievements continued to unfold as she secured silver medals at the Brown Belt Pans in 2021 and repeated her success at the Brown Belt Worlds in the featherweight category. In 2022, she soared to victory as the Brown Belt Lightweight Champion at the Pans and also clinched silver in the open weight category. Amanda is not just a champion but a fierce competitor on the prestigious Who's Number One (WNO) stage.

Her outstanding victories against well-known figures like Tammi Muscemeci, Sophia Cassella, and Leticia Cardozo have solidified her reputation as a dominant force in the world of Jiu Jitsu. Black Belt under Matt Thornton Amanda Loewen, a remarkable talent in the world of jiu-jitsu, attained her black belt from Matt Thornton in October 2014 after dedicating five years to her training. With an intense regimen, she trains six days a week and leads 2-5 classes daily while maintaining a regular competition schedule. Notably, Amanda secured the silver medal at the 2014 World Championships in the brown belt lightweight division. Looking ahead, her aspirations include maximizing her competitive endeavors, enhancing her skills as an instructor, and perpetuating the SBGi philosophy emphasizing posture, pressure, and possibilities.
