Champions in Life w/ Emily Kwok

Emily Kwok is a multiple-time IBJJF champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, an early veteran of women’s MMA, and one of the sport’s pioneering female athletes. A school owner and head instructor at Princeton BJJ, she brings over two decades of experience on and off the mat. Emily has been a driving force in creating space for women in the sport — co-founding Groundswell Grappling Concepts in 2008 as the first all-female BJJ camp, becoming one of the first women featured in BJJ  instructionals , and continuing to organize women’s camps and gatherings that have helped shape the community over the years. Beyond the mats, Emily is a performance consultant and coach who draws on developmental psychology, fine art training, and the perceptual skills honed through a lifetime in martial arts to help individuals and teams operate at their highest level. She is also a devoted mother to three great humans and wife to fellow black belt Gerry Hurtado.
