Marianna Garcia from Oswaldo Alves' school.
I have rolled with Hannette several times and she is incredible. Very strong and technical with intense pressure. I will put her up against any male purple belt in the world at her weight.
Penny Thomas, Leticia Ribeiro
Cindy Hales from Gracie Barra Seattle. Best I've trained with by far...!!
I know Penny but never rolled with her, but I would not doubt she is one of the toughest female BJJ player. As far as females who I've rolled with, I'd have to say Ana Marie Soares.
Felicia Oh & Zee the Pitbull.
Lautaro
TTT for Maryanne! i didnt get to train with her but i watched UFC at the pub she worked at in London. I spilled my 1st drink the second she put it on the bar (not embarrassing at all) and she totally gave me a new one for free!
Ana Maria "India" a brown belt from Ricardo Vieira's Academy!
I rolled with Hannette Staack and she worked me like it was her job. She absolutely toyed with me and it was awesome. It was right after she won her first ADCC. The same day I got to roll with her instructor, Andre Negao (sp?) and he clock choked the life out of me. True Story.
Hannette Staack. Same time as shortyjj. Well, not the exact same time, but during the same visit with Andre Negao. I destroyed her and she tried to give me her ADCC trophies and I was like "Nooooooo. I can't take those." And she was like "But you deserve it. You are the best ever." It was kind of embarrassing. Just at that moment I woke up and realized I was in an armbar and tapped furiously. I then went home and cut off my pinky to teach myself that losing to a girl, world champ or not, is NOT okay.
Bianca (don't know her last name but is from Gracie Barra and really light)
Hillary Williams
It's hard to say who was better because Hillary was a white belt when I trained with Bianca. Marcelo has mentioned Hillary is the strongest or best girl he has rolled with. Can't remember exactly.
Kathy Brothers, Hillary Williams, Erica Montoya, Kris from Tinguina's..
Cindy Hales.
tf, pics?
Hillary Williams.

seems like this thread, and that experience, should teach you that losing to a girl IS ok.
Judo Scott - Adrienne Adams from Yamasaki.. She just got her purple. Other than her all the women I have rolled with were white belts, not a lot of female grapplers out here.Addie trains at my gym. She's tough! I've seen her thrash some guys who probably thought "sheesh a girl.." She's a great competitor and has one of the best attitudes I've ever seen in the sport. Always positive and always looking to learn more. Dream student.

My friend does privates with andre negao and i come in as a training dummy for him sometimes...and yeah rolling with andre is very painful ordeal.
..only got to watch hanette destroy my friend
My judo teacher, Celita Schutz. Its almost impossible for me to tap her. Crazy pressure and crazy strong.
On the feet i'm not even a challenge.
And this girl i train with in jiujitsu who doeesn't compete. Ala. One of the toughest people i know.. bar none. Great jiujitsu to boot.
I had the opportunity to roll with Laurence Cousins, a blackbelt from France. We were both visiting De La Riva's in Rio. She won the lightweight mundials (07?)
She absolutely destroyed my game, and swept me at will. It was a great roll.
