Cassidy Roblero (“La Cazadora”) on Martial Arts as an Outlet, Competition Mindset, and Building Confidence

On this episode of The Jiu Jitsu Mindset, the host shares updates on the My Jiu Jitsu Journey app (a zero-advertising, subscription-based jujitsu-only platform) and Submission Coffee sponsoring the Momentum Martial Arts Competition Team, then interviews Momentum athlete and coach Cassidy Roblero. Cassidy describes starting boxing at 14 and MMA/jujitsu/Muay Thai at 15 during a personal crisis, crediting martial arts with providing a healthy outlet, structure, community, and inner calm. She discusses mentorship from Coach Darian and how martial arts principles apply to life, reflects on women’s growing opportunities in combat sports, and explains how competition tests skills and mindset under pressure. Cassidy recounts pivotal experiences from her first jujitsu competition and first MMA fight, emphasizing self-belief, resilience, honesty, and adapting technique for safety, and highlights the confidence gains she sees in kids who train. She shares her fight name, La Cazadora (“The Huntress”), where to follow her (Cass on the Mats), and notes she’s rehabbing a neck/shoulder with hopes to fight in September or October.
