Austin, Texas Jun 6, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Fresh off her graduation from the University of Southern California, Bridgett Brumbaugh is already proving that balancing school, work, and high-level competition is not just possible, its powerful.
Brumbaugh, a newly minted black belt with just one year at the rank, stunned the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world by securing 3rd place at the prestigious IBJJF World Championships. Her performance is a testament to relentless grit, quiet discipline, and a life lived with purpose.
But her path was far from smooth. Finding the right gym wasnt easy, Brumbaugh admits. I bounced around a lot, trying to find somewhere that aligned with my values and training goals. That search finally ended at Active Jiu-Jitsu, where she found not just world-class training, but a community. Coached by Pierre Loarte, a seasoned black belt from Peru, Brumbaugh found her rhythm.
Between grueling training sessions and academic deadlines, Bridgett maintained a demanding schedule that would challenge even the most seasoned athletes. Working, studying, and training with laser focus, she somehow made room for her other passions: caring for animals and cultivating a peaceful, zen-centered lifestyle amidst the chaos.
I try to keep things balanced, she says. Jiu-jitsu gives me structure, but my love for animals and living mindfully keeps me grounded. Competing is just one part of who I am.
Now a podium-finisher at one of the toughest competitions in the world, Brumbaugh is just getting started. This is only the beginning, she says. Ive had my black belt for a yearbut I plan to be here for a long time.
