The week we talk to Pro MMA Fighter Julia Ramsden (Mavericks Training Center). She shares her journey through the world of combat sports, discussing her experiences in jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai, her role as a coach, and the dynamics of competition. The conversation flows from lighthearted anecdotes to deeper reflections on her training, injuries, and aspirations in the sport. Julia emphasizes the importance of personal growth, the challenges of teaching, and the thrill of competition, all while maintaining a humorous and relatable tone. We also delve into the misconceptions surrounding combat sports, and explain the importance of grit and skill.

On a more candid note- for anyone looking into a good way to "fight your demons" so to speak, sport is generally a great way to do it. Done properly, sport can bring you some of the most calm atmospheres (even if they appear chaotic), coupled with new found friendships. Most that listen to this podcast have some stuff they are working through or are trying to find the grit to get to the next challenge. Combat sports like we discuss this week will test that grit and will help you thirve in other ways outside of the gym.

For anyone interested in starting, or are seasoned and need a new gym, Mavericks Training Gym is located in downtown Huntsville, Alabama. Bonus, they also have excellent kids classes.
