It used to be her father’s favorite thing to do back in Guam. Ungacta’s parents had her learn martial arts when she turned 10 years old. She started with mixed martial arts at the same studio where she found jiu-jitsu. She has been doing jiu-jitsu for the past five years. “[In BJJ,] we focus on different moves every week but we always have a theme,” Ungacta said. “For example this week, we are focused on takedowns.”
