Aimee shares her story of signing up and competing in IBJJF Masters in Barcelona, having previously lived in Spain for some time. Aimee's primary sport is as a Former Powerlifter, and having come to the end of her competitive Junior career, she shares the commitment of being a competitive athlete to moving through martial arts, and on to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.   Training in an all-female training space is something that is a priority for Aimee, and the jiu jitsu school she attends. Aimee is proactive in preparing for competition and brings her competitive edge, regardless of in-the-moment challenges. We speak openly about social anxiety and how training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has supported her progress. Listen to the end of the episode where we agree to be matched up and compete together!   Topics: IBJJF Masters CompetitorTry competingWe're here to learn as White BeltsWeight Class SportsCompetitive spiritAll-Female training environmentAccess to trainingBeing preparedSocial Anxiety  Aimee on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aimeecarver/   Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JiuJitsuLou   Come and be a part of the show: https://jiujitsulou.com/be-a-podcast-guest/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jiu.jitsu.lou Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jiujitsuloupodcast JIU JITSU LOU Merchandise AVAILABLE NOW : https://jiujitsulou.com/shop   PRODUCTION CREDIT: Kerr Mathieson of Audio Outsource MUSIC CREDIT: ARTIST: Maleki Ram | TRACK: Just A Little Boy   This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
