Founder of Alchemize Fightwear. Building a community of fierce women and sharing the journey.
From 0 to 1M in sales, Quitting Jiu Jitsu?, and Advice for Dark Days
Hey guys, it's been a while! This video is raw and unscripted and unproduced, just me and my phone.
But I wanted to jump on an share a few lessons I've learned over the last few years building my business from a dorm room idea to a business with a team doing 3/4 of a million dollars in sales. This year has been the hardest year of my life, growing a business involves a lot of growing pains, and as a first time founder I'm learning a TON.
I just wanted to share, because I think that people don't talk much about what it really takes to build a successful business; the sacrifice and the little deaths you have as you reinvent yourself and let go of other identities.
I hope this helps someone ...

Thank you... Me and my daughter are 6 weeks in... And I don't know anything about hair as a single dad! Thank you much!! She is 10 and I need some gear.. will check you out later!
I want to do this so bad but I am NOT willing to give up the hair health, so thanks for saying something because NO
Literally, just walking around with the confidence the jiujitsu gives you is a good 1st barrier to predators, if you look like a problem their more likely to leave you alone, and being confident from just knowing I can break someone’s joints is powerful.
That is an amazing gi I want oneeeee!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Some of my best rolls have been with women I would like to say.
Rib cartilage was day 1-60 for me lol
that is beautiful
Those are so cute! I'd definitely get those!
Next week is my first class, I can't wait to explore this new endeavor.
Every woman as the right to deny a man a roll if she feels uncomfortable doing so. No further questions asked. Same thing the other way around. End of story.
Thanks for sharing🙏❤
I refuse to roll with women.
also, how very clever for a woman to willingly partake in physical activities that are borderline sexual in nature to begin with, doesn't exactly help while trying to avoid getting sexually assaulted ... bjj is pretty much the Brazilian version of the Kama Sutra, it's essentially legalized rape in public, provocative prostitution in a gi ... you literally learn to make someone physically submit to you against their own will ... that's the literal definition of rape/sexual assault ... what's worse: everyone is watching as it happens
I've heard of 2 bjj black belt male champions who raped one of their female fellow students, the main instructors were informed: all they've done is sweep everything under the rug to save their school's image the bad publicity and even shamed the girl for accusing them of sexual assault ... is this the type of "martial art" you would send your daughter towards ...
Hi I just checked out your website. Beautiful apparel that you sell. I wish you all the luck in the world with your endeavor. Be well. Nikolas
I do it and I’m 15 and one of the boys I’m my grade is in my class and because we are the only young ones we have to roll together then at school we never speak 😅😂
Inspirational ... Can We see you in Action .. Could you please make a video practicing .. Love from India
I have curly hair, and those silicon coil ties actually really hurt my hair
Come to india there is so much potential here every girl want to learn any type of martial are here. But you need to promote it here too.
I wear a high bun. Having the bun on the back of your head makes it hard to be in guard since you'd be lying on the bun.
yes lads
I would love to wear these training jiu-jitsu there gorgeous ❤
I am considering starting Jitsu, I have zero self defence skills, anyone can literally beat me up lol
Googled this for my wife who's braved stepping on the mats with me! Thanks for the guide, Maya - oss!
When I have a black eye and someone asks me what happened. I tell them well there is this club but the 1st rule is I cant talk about it and the second rule is I cant talk about it and then I stare at them seriously and nod my head.
😂
If someone thinks rolling with a woman is "sexual" what does that say about them rolling with men? 🤔😏
Exactly
Some people are simply uncomfortable to have a high contact with opppsite sex people. It's not so difficult to understand. I goes for men and women.
@@robb00 That feeling of being uncomfortable is something that needs to be overcome when training martial arts. And, tbh, that applies to far more than just training with the opposite sex. If you are truly learning to fight, you will find yourself in many situations that make you feel uncomfortable. If you can't get past those and overcome that feeling within, you will never succeed.
@@judosailor610 It's not true at all. It depends all on your kind of discomfort and what your goal is. If your goal is competing, you don't need of opposite sex to be successful. A great friend of mine, a guy who does muay thai and doesn't train with women, is a high level competitor. At my gym there are also women only classes and there we have a female purple belt who doesn't train with men. She is a very good athlete who obtained great success at competitions. But most people are not competitors they are only hobbists who want to do a combat sport just for fun. Some of these people don't want to face discomfort, they only look for a hobby to have fun and forget their troubles for few hours with. Live and let live. If you want to train with everyone, great! If you are uncomfortable and you want to try and overcome your discomfort great! If you are uncomfortable and you want to do only what make you comfortable, great too! It's your journey, do what you make you feel happy. Nobody should feel forced to do something against their will.
@@robb00 so, first of all, it is absolutely true and without doubt that in order to learn how to fight you have to overcome a lot of things that make you feel uncomfortable or that you're scared to do. From the first time you spar, to the first time you get punched in the face, to the first time you get submitted, to the first time you feel that incredible pressure and pain of someone doing knee on belly and you just want to give up because it's so uncomfortable. You have to learn how to overcome those things and be comfortable in those situations that used to make you uncomfortable. That's indisputable. Now that said, I guess you're right, you can overcome all those other things and probably learn how to fight without ever rolling, sparring or training with someone of the opposite sex. However, in my opinion, that's still problematic. It may be natural to have that fear or to feel uncomfortable when you're new. And of course if you have some past trauma, that may also contribute to it. But you're doing your training partners and yourself a disservice if you never work through that and get past it and overcome it. At least that's my opinion.
Looks like a good turnout, hope everyone had a good time
Thank you!
This makes my heart smile. I'm a fairly new beginner in BJJ.. so I love seeing this!❤
Fish market
So damn rude
How many men won ?
Queef fest 😂😂😂😂
u need to be put behind bars and never ever see sunlight again
Absolutely gross! And rude.
@@Thatoneje 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😆😅
As a bigger and heavier dude i find training with women to be easy, dont ask to roll with them, let them approach you. Its training not a fight, use technique and try and match strength. Since im also heavier 225lbs, i also use that time to practice diffrent types of passes instead of just smash pass.
I was on the fence and decided to sign up because of your video. Thank you :). I especially like the community aspect <3. I felt that from the one class I tried out.
It's the same for a male as it is for you :) Everybody (regardless of their physical stature or gender) has to pay their dues and receive their nicks scrapes. You keep going girl!! You'll be all the better for it!
There are alot of things that disgust me about martial arts communities in the states but the biggest is just the misogny that is so thick in the air. Most of the time its a combination of the hobbyist and hardcore guys but those who have been in for the longrun should no better. Your not competing its just practice and there are alot of women in mma who can teach guys alot. Its not even worth an argument, some guys think theyre better than everybody when in reality they arent shit
6:43 most of the time, if a guy doesn’t roll with a girl it’s either a) he thinks she will feel weird rolling with a guy she doesn’t know (hence the problem goes away once you get to know each other) b) he’s probably just naturally awkward around girls c) he has some personal beliefs around “beating” women I think it’s very rare that it’s because they think little of you as a woman and for options a and b above (and this might be unfair since the girl is in the minority) the easy solution is for the girl to ask/initiate the roll so the guy knows it’s ok and knows that she feels comfortable. I think most guys will avoid a girl if they get the slightest hint of discomfort from her because in their mind they don’t want to be “creepy”
So, if you cannot win fair - just overwhelm them with cuteness😊😅
How about mat rash funk? As an obsessive hypochondriac that's been something to get used to.
Blue belt with some MMA xp here, ya know rolling is not just awkward for women, as a guy I have felt plenty of hardons where they shouldnt be. A lot of guys start quivering with how weird it is to wrestle, but that goes away. I have rolled with women plenty of times, i never had a problem not being "excited" often it just seems like rolling another guy unless you get some obvious north south objects in your face or something, but usually women are aware of and avoid it. Once I was rolling with this one girl, yea she was cute but I wasnt thinking about it, I was thinking about a move and i slowly moved my hand to the next point when I realized I had just completely grabbed her boob instead. I jerked my hand away, it was a little awkward, but damn I am glad she understood I didnt mean it. It's more awkward rolling with women cause these days you never know if women are gonna freak out even when you dont mean it, but women have to understand, in BJJ its gonna happen. Getting hurt happens too, you have to anticipate and prepare for it.
Afaik boob control is perfectly legal.
Idk how I could live without rolling 6 days a week
I feel you, you need to switch out the obsession for another obsession 😂
Hello Maya, this is the first video of yours that I’ve watched. You seem very experienced and wise. I too train jits and I am working towards starting my own online business! Thank you for sharing
I appreciate the comment! Good luck starting your business!
It’s ok most people quit Jiu Jitsu 👍great video I learned a lot
I didn’t quit, but just gym homeless at the moment and training only a few times a month!
@@MayaNazareth curioius if you have injuiries from training
Gorgeous. 🐈⬛
I want to get back into training but I have a lot of injuries. My back is bad, shoulder etc.
What is your current rank? I’m a no-gi 43 yr old purple belt guy. I have been coaching and instructing a lot. I help a lot of females. I just didn’t have some answers, you answered here. Thanks.
nobody told u bec its obvios
Is anyone hurting you??? No it's jiu jitsu I found that comment hilarious
as someone considering bjj this was a great video!
Maybe you can help me? My husband trains bjj and he’s really good and into it! It makes me happy and proud of him, but I hate it when he rolls with his female counterparts. I admit it makes me jealous! I’m trying to understand, to get it etc, but I have a real problem with this. I think if we didn’t have a past of him being unfaithful to me I’d have less of an issue with it. Any advice or feedback for me? Thank you and great video
In my humble opinion (coming up on 2 years training) I don't think you have anything to worry about. The culture of jiu jitsu promotes everyone being a good training partner to help each other improve at jiu jitsu. Anyone serious about showing up to train is there for that reason, not to flirt or date. It would be SUPER weird for anyone to try to exploit the physical proximity that happens during training to try to 'make something happen' with their training partner and I can't see it being reciprocated. Most likely it would get reported.
@@NextScamdemicLol, you don't need to start shagging on the matts to hook up with a training partner. Her guy already cheated on her before, so that's a perfectly rational concern.
Amei! Irei fazer, meu cabelo vai abaixo da bunda, beeeem grande! Hahah percebi que estava quebrando muito!
