So far i have in no specific order :
Kyra Gracie
Michelle Nicolini
Penny Thomas
Bia Mesquita
Emily Kwok
Leticia Ribeiro
Those are some names come to mind but there's a lot of people out there . Thanks in advance guys
luanna alzuguir is probably the most active.
Vanessa Oliveira from GFT is pretty nasty
Hillary Williams as well.
hannette staack is definitely on the top 10 list of gi/no-gi. she was the ADCC champion '07 and '09 and will be competing again this year. she also just won her 7th world title with the gi.
Very cool ! Keep sending names guys , thank you . Yeah Hannette Staack is really good
Felicia Oh but I think she's done competing.
Valerie Worthington
Lana Stefanac
Bianca Barreto
Sayaka Shioda
Lauren Cousin
Leka Vera
Cool thread. I love watching these bass ass girls in the competition. Its really great to see women so dedicated tot he art.
This thread inspired me to watch some of the girls competing. What I saw at exactly 1:29 of this video scared the pants off of me.

Of course I'm going to cast a vote for Felicia. She's the one who inspired me.
IMO, Hannette is #1.
I don't really keep up with the women's division, so I honestly don't know who's "on top", but Hannette seemed on a different level, to me.
Hannette Staack is at the top of my list.

Haha! TPK?
Beatriz is a gun. I watched her wreck the womens div this year at the Rio Open. Even with some crazy shonky referreeing she smashed it.
Pinky and the Brain from Alliance Sao Paolo.
Leka is just getting back to bjj, not competing, so not top 10.
Hillary Williams repping the US and the A!!
Hannette is good. Bia is slick as hell.
Megaton's daughter is an up and comer.
Felicia Oh, oh no. Maybe 5-8 years ago, not any more.
Nicolini for sure. Kyra has slipped a bit, but really talented.
But the top dog right now is Gabi from Alliance Sao Paolo. Number 2 would be Luana from Alliance Sao Paolo as well.
