Maddy Jones: Growth, Grit, and the Journey to Brown Belt PART 1

Maddy Jones has lived a life of movement—both on the mats and across state lines. From growing up with a passion for dance to discovering Jiu-Jitsu, managing a gym, and navigating major life shifts, she’s always found a way to adapt and evolve.

 

In this episode, we sit down with Maddy to talk about her journey from blue belt party days to brown belt discipline, the highs and lows of training in Eugene’s unique martial arts scene, and the reality of balancing personal and professional relationships in Jiu-Jitsu. She takes us through the COVID lockdown era, where she earned her purple belt in a house, and the pivotal decision to leave her gym, her city, and a long-term relationship behind for a fresh start in California.

 

Now in recovery from hip surgery, Maddy shares how ice baths, mindset shifts, and goal setting have helped her reshape her life. Is she settling into stability, or is she still searching for the next adventure? Tune in to find out!
