Wellness Festival Singapore

This is my 3rd year running nutrition workshops for Wellness Festival Singapore but this year’s session was a little different from the rest. It featured Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) class conducted by Coach Sul from SUL academy and it definitely hit differently (no pun intended!).

It was thrilling to see so much action throughout the 3-day workshop but the most valuable takeaway was the useful self-defense tips from the coach himself:

☝🏼 If you’re in danger, don’t shout “help”. Call out “FIRE” instead. People are more likely to respond to that (I hope…!)

☝🏼 If you’re not confident fighting, carry a tub of Vicks in your bag. If you sense danger, take some Vicks on your finger, ready to smear it on the other person’s eye area. Ooh dat burn.

☝🏼 If you’re being followed and no one is around (i.e. in a carpark), don’t continue walking. Don’t run either. It’s likely that the person will corner you. Instead, turn around and confront the person early: “👉🏼 are you following me?”

Whilst I may have not gone onto the mat for the BJJ session, it was still a joy to impart my knowledge and passion for everything nutrition across this 3-day session.

To top it all off, we ended the session with a well-deserved treat:
Rainforest Hydration - an açaí smoothie, specially curated by myself and Chef Jose from Classic Fine Foods using açaí puree from Sambazon.
