Margaret Aase
Margaret "Magga" Aase, a BJJ Brown Belt and Norwegian professional MMA fighter, has left an indelible mark on the martial arts world. Her journey began with a diverse athletic background in soccer, sport jujutsu, and judo, but it was attending Leticia Ribeiro's seminar in Norway in 2010 that ignited her passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). This pivotal moment set the stage for her future success, including winning the 2012 Purple Belt Lightweight World Championship in BJJ.
Inspired by the technique and finesse of BJJ, Margaret devoted herself to the art, leading to her participation in "Norges Beste Fighter" and earning her first professional MMA contract. Currently based in San Diego, she maintains a rigorous training schedule in BJJ, striking, and MMA.
Margaret's favorite submissions include the bow and arrow choke and the triangle, and her most memorable BJJ matches are her victories at the 2012 Worlds, where she and her teammates from Gracie Humaitá dominated the podium. With her passion, dedication, and the support of her mentors, especially Leticia Ribeiro, Margaret Aase continues to inspire the martial arts community.
