Trials to Triumph with Miyo Strong

Episode 4,   Feb 01, 2021, 06:30 PM

I love to interview people that inspire me. Miyo Strong's name says it all. This woman is strong inside and out. Her trials she has faced have not defined her. She has moved through them with grace, love and compassion and has come out on top. This authentic convo with her will melt your heart and feed your soul!
 
Women’s empowerment, self-defense, and giving back to the community are top priorities for Miyo, the Elizabeth Smart Foundation's Smart Defense Program Director. Before joining the team, Miyo taught self-defense for Temple MMA and Empower Self Defense for over three years, donating proceeds of all seminars to organizations such as the Utah Coalition Against Sexual Abuse, The Rape Recovery Center, and Seek Haven Shelter.

After chasing down her photography goals and earning her Masters and Craftsman Degrees from PPA, Miyo decided to pursue JiuJitsu full time as a competitor and coach in 2016. A Brown belt under Johnny Carlquist, Miyo also holds certification as a Strength and Conditioning Coach for the prestigious Gym Jones.

She is the current Jiu Jitsu World Master Champion in both Gi and No Gi and the mother of two incredible daughters.
