I was honoured to spend some time today with the amazing Lena Walther who is an activist for sex trafficking prevention with the focus on protecting girls and children. Her website is here: https://aipnv.org/ We planning on putting on some self defense workshops geared towards developing awareness and prevention and basic self defense skills standing up and on the ground directed at the parents and daughters. Sex trafficking is rife around the world hugely prevalent in Las Vegas and It’s important to know that it’s not as cut and dry as it seems. There is loads of manipulation involved and if you aren’t aware of it, your child could be getting roped into one of these situations. Lena explained that a lot of the ‘seduction process’ is via social media. Awareness is the first step and knowing the ‘signs’.
For those who would be interesting in finding out more about the future workshops plese email me at: sophia@sophiaFIT.com

It was such an honour to be teaching alongside Hannette Staack at this awesome event.
Lately I have been teaching a seminar every week or so. It is so amazing to be able to travel to new places, see new things, meet new people all because of the sport I love. The other week I was honoured to be teaching a seminar in Texas for the Women's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation alongside multiple time World Champ Hannette Staack. The WBJJF is dedicated to promoting women in the sport with camps, tournaments and seminars geared to both women and girls. Thank you Kristine Felts for starting this organisation and making a difference to so many. Your efforts are hugely appreciated. I met amazing women who were seasoned athletes, or brand new beginners or mothers (one was a mother of 5 kids!) Everyone of these ladies was taking the time out for themselves to pursue what they love and that is what it is all about.
