A little highlight reel of G**o Josy competing through the years in Kickboxing, K-1, Kick light, and Filipino Martial Arts (Arnis) stick fighting!
And no… she didn’t start when she was young.
She didn’t grow up competing.
She didn’t have decades of experience under her belt.
She started at the tender age of 41! 😳
And starting later in life came with its own challenges.
She often found herself paired up against women 20–30 years younger than her, many of whom already had more experience. And there were even times when she was paired up against men.
But did that make her turn away?
NO.
It didn’t scare her away.
It didn’t make her quit.
It didn’t make her decide she was “too old.”
She was determined to give it a shot.
She stepped into the fight game later in life, proving that you are NEVER too old to challenge yourself, learn something new, push your limits, and discover what you’re capable of.
But there was another reason she wanted to step into the ring…
She wanted other girls and women to see that age does NOT have to define what you can do.
Regardless of your age, your gender, your background, or what society tells you that you “should” or “shouldn’t” be doing … you get to decide for yourself.
You only get ONE LIFE.
So why not try that thing you’ve always wanted to try?
Why not chase that passion?
Why not step outside your comfort zone?
Why not see what you’re capable of?
And most importantly, don’t let society decide your limits for you.
If there’s something you’ve always wanted to do, GO FOR IT.
Because 41 wasn’t too late…..41 was just the beginning.
Who knows what’s next…but regardless we are proud to have G**o/Coach Josy as a mentor for our students here at United Fist Martial Arts!
