Kaju AZ Student of the Month - Meet Jessica



Each month, Kaju AZ introduces you to 4 students. This week, meet MMA Red Belt, Jessica King!

Jessica King has been training in MMA for just over 4 years. She trains with her sons, Jacob and Ben, and when her partner Robyn isn't working, Robyn trains as well. Jessica and Robyn love animals. They have 4 dogs and 1 cat and take in foster animals and strays and find them loving homes and families.

Jessica admits that besides Kaju, she loves to shop and we both agree that you can never have too many shoes in your closet. Take a look sometime at all the cute shoes she comes in the dojo with! She also enjoys spending time with her family and Aunt and Uncle on the weekends. 

Jessica has found a new passion in running and has learned that the more she runs, the more she likes it. She has decided that she likes anything that involves sweating.

Kaju AZ is a place that makes her feel better and adds a light to her day. She is grateful it is something she can do with her sons and they can help each other get better. When she comes to train, she feels like she matters and that it truly enriches her life.

Her goals for the next year are to continue training hard and become a better martial artist by learning from the teachers and black belts at the school. Outside of the dojo, she is going back to school for nursing, something she has always wanted to do.

Anybody that knows Jessica, knows that she trains hard and hits hard and with that same intensity she is always giving back to other students with a helping hand, good advice and a great smile, a smile that lights up the room when she enters!
