Imagine finding yourself homeless, addicted, and almost out of hope, only to rise and become a two-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion. That's the extraordinary journey of Jacqueline Young. Beginning with Jacqueline's life before jiu-jitsu, where she recalls the impact of her parents' divorce and her father's criminal actions. Her world was shattered, leading her down a dark path of substance abuse and homelessness. Jacqueline’s story is one of incredible resilience and redemption, showing how she transformed her life through the power of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
From dancing at upscale clubs and struggling with opioid addiction to finding her calling on the jiu-jitsu mat, Jacqueline's path to recovery wasn't easy. She opens up about her initial use of Percocet and the challenges she faced as her addiction deepened. Yet, it was the unwavering presence of God and her mother's inspiration in the medical field that guided her towards a healthier life. Jacqueline’s reflections on overcoming addiction through sheer willpower offer a profound insight into the strength it takes to rebuild one's life.
But the story doesn't end there. Jacqueline's journey in jiu-jitsu is a testament to her tenacity and talent. From her beginner classes to her triumphant victories at the Master Worlds championship, her dedication to the sport has reshaped her life. Jacqueline’s story is not just about jiu-jitsu; it's about the power of inner strength and the supportive network that helped her rise above her struggles.
