Julia is the coach for the (little ninjas) our youngest group of BJJ trainees at Universal, and the wife to Coach Kent. She started her training June of 2017 and is now a purple belt. She is known as "The Honey Badger" because even though most of the people she trains with are twice her size, she faces them head on without question. She takes this spirit into the kids class and gives them confidence to face their fears and to be strong. Tiny is mighty.
