Coach Alma began her Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) journey in 2011 at RMBJJ in Coral Springs, Florida. Over the years, she has competed in numerous jiu-jitsu tournaments as a dedicated hobbyist and lifelong martial arts practitioner. Her passion for continuous learning has led her to cross-train in submission wrestling, boxing, Muay Thai kickboxing, and various forms of fitness and physical conditioning.
With years of experience as an assistant Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, Coach Alma brings both technical expertise and a motivating leadership style to every class. She is deeply committed to helping students develop confidence, discipline, and skill — both on and off the mats.
In 2019, she earned her brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, marking a major milestone in her martial arts journey. Today, as the Co-Owner of Mastermind MMA Academy, Coach Alma continues to inspire students of all ages to achieve their best through dedication, perseverance, and the values of martial arts.
