Claire DEL SARTO

It all began in 2015 when I walked through the door of the fight move academy in Neuchâtel, with the aim of starting MMA. But very quickly my preference fell on the ground fighting part. I fell in love with the strange and complicated sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which combines flexibility, strength and technique.

In 2017, I won my first European championship as a white belt. This landmark event motivated me to continue with the competition. Then in 2019, I won the European championship again, but this time as a blue belt. In 2021, my training partner and her husband opened Alvorada Jiu-Jitsu in Ostermundigen. I decided without hesitation to leave my home and move closer to what I believe will be the best Jiu-Jitsu school in Switzerland.

I'm currently going through my last few months as a purple belt, so I'm taking part in as many competitions as possible to test my level and iron out a few details before I get the chance to face the biggest names in my discipline. In August, I won an important fight in Split and contributed to my team's qualification for the World Team Championships to be held at the end of the year in Abu Dhabi.

I started using CBD oils in 2019, to help with inflammation and allow me to recover faster between workouts. It has helped tremendously, as the pain was so intense it was waking me up at night. I like Naturalpes products because they offer a natural, THC-free CBD oil, which I use before competitions to relax and loosen up the muscles that have been hard at work during preparation.

The CBD oils also help me to manage my stress and anxiety better, which in turn helps me to have a calmer, more restful sleep. I use Raw 13% outside the competition period and Wellness 20% before my competitions. In case of injury, I also use Wellness 47% oil for massage.
