Here’s a nice article about 10th Plant Omaha.

“Chief instructor and owner, Derek Stewart leads the jiu-jitsu session as the students attentively listen … just like we did before, but in a much tighter ball, half-guard here, control the distance…

Sitting on the mat, the class observes Stewart. Between the men are two familiar faces at the dojo, Courtney Smith and Lea Lopez. Young in age, but not to the sport, the girls are getting ready for another tournament where they have been bracketed against the opposite sex.

In the past decade a handful of women have made mixed martial arts a possibility, but the barriers are still there. Debi Purcell, founding mother of fightergirls.com, has spent the past decade educating both sexes that women can fight and are here to stay. As Purcell states on the website…”

Mike Venturella went from playing World of Warcraft, eating fast food everyday, and weighing over 300lbs, to a lean mean, 170lbs. When he first started training with us, he may literally have been the worst student to have walked through my doors. Fast forward two years, and he’s made a complete turn around. He’s won gold at countless grappling tournaments, has fought in Muay Thai smokers and even fought his first full contact, MMA fight this year. It’s really possible to be just like Mike. If you have a hard time believing it, come down to the and ask to see his old drivers license. You’ll sign up on the spot!

“This episode of the Gracie Breakdown is a little longer than usual, but for a VERY good reason, there were simply too many “breakdownable” moments! Ryron and Rener analyze Frank Mir’s impressive Kimura Armlock that broke Nogueira’s arm, and then they dissect Jones’ slick standing Guillotine that put Lyoto Machida to sleep. They also, give honorable demonstrations of the highlights from the TUF 14 Finale including Ferguson’s rolling Omoplata and Brandao’s beautiful armlock from the guard!”
