She- Ra in Boots or Better in a Gi?

Teaching in my Fuji Gi at Princess Cruises

In my mind I am She-re. But in reality, as much as I'd love to be training in high heel boots, a mini skirt and a crown, I can see that it could be a tad impractical. lol 😂

So this is my Warrior Outfit. lol. I rock it with pride. 💪Back in the beginning wearing a gi was super uncomfortable since I was used to wearing gymnastics training gear (aka not much). But I love the gi now and wear these gi daily around my Lethal Ladies crew, to my seminars and my training. 🤩

If anyone is wondering about the gis I wear they are @Fujisportsus. And they make the BEST GIS for women!

Fuji Princess Cruise, An amazing adventure of BJJ and Lifestyle!

Sophia McDermot Fuji Cruise Guest Instructor

In December I had the wonderful experience of teaching once again in the Princess Fuji Cruise. I was the only female BJJ guest instructor amongst the dudes. What an honor it was to teach alongside World Champions and Olympic medalists.

Once again I was the only female instructor. It’s such an honor to be the chosen lady. I am blessed to be able to provide the students that feminine touch in BJJ.

The cruise was a fabulous adventure of BJJ, sightseeing, beach, parties and great food and great vibes.

I had the opportunity to teach BJJ to the amazing crew on the Fuji Princess crew.

And to teach the amazing ladies at Lethal Ladies who attended.

Good Vibes for the New Year!

This year is going to be epic! Let’s all focus on creating a lifestyle where we can do what we love, have a good work-life balance and surround ourselves with amazing likeminded friends.

A throwback to my lifestyle camp at the end of last year in California! What an incredible time it was! I am launching another camp soon!

We started the morning off with sun rise yoga at the beach and then did some BJJ training at lunch. The evening we time to do mediations and metaphysical workshops and to explore.

Stay tuned for the next amazing event.

Women's Workshop in Colorado

I taught a fantastic workshop at the end of last year in Colorado at Jeer Academy. Thank you to Hannah Tessa for hosting me once again. What a fabulous group of ladies with a fabulous vibe.

There were also a lot of familiar faces with many Lethal ladies coming to visit. It was also a huge day with Lethal ladies Wendy and Jacqie who received their brown belts and the amazing Keelee came along to help support the ladies while they tested.

My Amazing Seminar at Gracie Largo in Florida.


I was honored to teach a seminar at Gracie Largo in Clearwater, Florida a couple of weeks ago. This was an amazing way for me to begin my big trip with a seminar followed by a Lifestyle Camp.


I focused on self defense, framing and then setting up lethal attacks which is so important for the women who learn.

Thank you Jen Clanton for putting this together and your amazing hospitality.

Seminars at Summit Martial Arts in Ohio, May 21 & 22

I'll be heading to Delaware Ohio and teaching at Summit Martial Arts Academy May 21 & 22 . I'll be teaching a co ed seminar and a women's workshop. For those in other parts of Ohio, Delaware is quite central so a road trip for a BJJ packed weekend sounds like a great idea!!! I'll be teaching new techniques and as a female heald professor in this sport I'll be sharing things from a different perspective. My focus is on teaching the little details that make a big difference.Book your spot here: https://summitmartialarts.sites.zenplanner.com/sign-up-now.cfm
