Investing in her future is Amy Derwanz's aim as Pro Jiu Jitsu Athlete, and we discuss the importance of prize pots and ambassadorships. Amy focusses on efficiency and variation in her training, especially in the run up to KAIROS 2.

As a Brown Belt with many years in both MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Amy shares how we can make life better, not just for professional athletes like herself but for the everyday competitor.
