I first went for the cardio aspect, then I began to go more often and bonded with the crew. I felt support from all angles and the encouragement to keep pushing my limits helped me physically and mentally get… stronger. Now I compete! I want to continue to grow in this sport and be the best version of myself with my Zia Martial Arts fam 🥰🙌
