How a Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Overcame Injuries and Made a Comeback

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and powerhouse black belt, Professor Faye Lynn Cherrier. Faye’s journey through Jiu Jitsu is nothing short of inspiring, from getting her start in MMA gyms to traveling the world for competitions, all while overcoming serious injuries with grit and grace.

We get into her transition from striking to grappling, the importance of cross training, and what it really takes to stay safe and thrive as a smaller athlete in a physically demanding sport.

We also dig deep into Faye’s recovery from a serious neck injury, her experience competing at the United World Wrestling Championship in Poland, and how she balances training, nutrition, and mental health.
