Roll or Die Episode #326 - Kayte Hel
Q: What advice did you receive about competing on big stages like Worlds or Abu Dhabi?
Mentors taught her to view it as just another competition and to stay focused on the process, not the spectacle, emphasizing consistent effort and fun.
Roll or Die Episode #326 - Kayte Hel
Q: Can you run us through how you got into Jiu-Jitsu and what your early days looked like?
Kayte explains she started at 22, watched her partner train, and gradually joined in when she found a route to competition; early days involved training with mostly men and discovering her own drive through a first competition.
Roll or Die Episode #323 - Kate Aroa
Q: What was it like earning your black belt and how did it feel given your MMA experience at the time?
It was a grading night, and I was surprised and emotional because I had just fought MMA and lost a final round; getting the belt felt like a validation that the long journey and sacrifice were worth it, even though I was still processing the loss.
Roll or Die Episode #323 - Kate Aroa
Q: Tell us about how you found Jiu-Jitsu and when you started.
I started around 2004 after a friend kept inviting me to try it; my early days were solitary and tough, but I quickly fell in love with the sport and started competing soon after, which helped me grow.
Roll or Die Episode #325 - Anaru Grant
Q: iPhone or Samsung?
I've just transferred to the iPhone zone. All Samsung gang for a long time.
