First female BJJ black belt in Europe?

[DCurrie]

I posted already on the MMA forum but thought I would add it here too.

My wife, Helen, got her black belt from Chris Haueter last week, am I right in saying that she is the first female in Europe to do this?

When we first starting training way back, having a blue belt in the UK was awesome but now we have our own blacks.

Huge achievement.

i thought initially she was but there is at least one other, Laurence Cousin from France under Flavio Behring. Thinks he got it end of 2005.
