Born in the turbulent capital of Iran during the Ayatollah Khomeini’s rise to power, Gazzy and her family relocated to London shortly after her birth, then to the United States. At the age of twelve, Gazzy and her older brother became fascinated with Bruce Lee and the world of martial arts. Gazzy began studying Kung Fu, followed by Kempo Karate at the age of fourteen, which she studied for five and a half years. However, it wasn’t until her years in college, at the age of twenty, that she would discover the martial art that would define her life forever, Jiu-Jitsu.

Gazzy soon found herself traveling alone around the world in her quest to seek out the best jiu-jitsu training with some of the most elite mixed martial artists, jiu-jitsu players, and submission grapplers. She would eventually go to Brazil by herself, the birthplace and mecca of Jiu-Jitsu, and immerse herself in the Jiu-Jitsu culture, training daily with legends of the sport.

Gazzy went on to become one of the most accomplished American female Jiu-Jitsu players and submission grapplers in the world, acquiring a considerable following of devoted fans in the process. She also began teaching, leading her first kid’s jiu-jitsu team to win 1^st place overall champions at numerous grappling tournaments in the country for three years in a row. In 2009 she opened her own Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts school, LVL5, in San Diego, California.

People ask me all the time how they can get the glow.  Well, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, a vital energy called qi (pronounced chi) circulates throughout our entire body. Qi is the life current, and their entire traditional medicinal practice revolves around addressing qi imbalances and blockages that result in illness and pain. The purpose of many postures and training techniques in martial arts is similar – they are ways to build core qi energy. The 80 year-old master who can still kick everybody’s ass is not a myth. When you build your life current, your body stays vital – you absorb nutrients better, your cells function better and they produce more energy.

That’s why I’ve started taking Protein Extreme Energy daily – it’s a natural supplement designed to do exactly the same thing: increase your life current, or your vital qi energy. For those of you not practicing martial arts, it’s a good way to get your qi flowing and get more core energy for life. If you are doing some form of qi cultivation technique, try this and witness the added power it gives you. The extra current and power I feel in practice has been truly amazing.
