Helena Crevar explains what drew her to grappling: "It's always been just because it's really fun to me"

Women's jiu-jitsu superstar Helena Crevar of the United States has found her true passion in BJJ after years of trying different things without discovering genuine enjoyment.

The promising young fighter began her martial arts journey at just three years old, trying her luck in numerous sports throughout her childhood, but it was Crevar's introduction to jiu-jitsu that marked a transformative moment in her life.

She instantly connected with ‘the gentle art’ in a way that previous combat sports had not.

When asked about what drew her to jiu-jitsu, Crevar told South China Morning Post:

"It's always been just because it's really fun to me. I've done a lot of sports since I was three years old, but none of them, I do them, but they weren't very fun to me. But jiu-jitsu, from the first moment, I just really enjoyed grappling and doing that type of thing, just because it's fun."

Today, Crevar is considered one of the most talented women’s grappling stars in the world, and as she readies to make her debut in the world’s largest martial arts organization, the American is hard at work, sharpening her skills.
