Along her journey, she has trained, coached, and competed in both sports. She has a soft spot for young athletes who are first starting their grappling journey, which is why she founded Grapple Up (a dedicated space for parents and kids in martial arts). Oliver Funge is an all-around young champion! He trains jiu-jitsu at least three times a week, trains MMA in Bondi Boxing gym, plays the cello, and is an honours student at Scots College in Sydney. Professor Romina and Oli first crossed paths in 2022 to improve his takedown game and competition strategy. Oli has won five State titles, two National titles, and a World title since! Their biggest achievement together has been preparing for the 2023 Abu-Dhabi World Youth Jiu-Jitsu Festival, where they underwent a strategic 8-week training camp and brought home the gold! Since then, they've been dreaming bigger and bigger! Catch these two in Sydney (Australia) around the local and global competition scene.
