A Glimpse into Vanessa’s World
Before we dive deeper into Vanessa’s journey at SBG, let’s take a moment to get to know her beyond the mats. Vanessa is not just a martial arts enthusiast – she’s a business owner, a dog trainer to be exact, helping people create stronger bonds with their furry companions.

Her curiosity about human behavior and personal growth is truly inspiring.
Embracing Martial Arts: A Journey to Self-Growth
Vanessa’s martial arts journey was sparked by her desire for personal growth and challenges. She recognized the mental and physical benefits that martial arts could offer and decided to take the plunge. With a natural interest in martial arts, she found herself captivated by the combination of mental, physical, and self-defense aspects of BJJ and Muay Thai. It was Paula Pracz who introduced her to SBG, sharing tales of the fun-filled events and the inviting atmosphere that piqued Vanessa’s curiosity.
Defying Limits and Embracing Challenges
For Vanessa, the beauty of martial arts lies in its capacity to challenge and inspire growth. While the journey may be tough, the rewards are immeasurable.
