I decided to entitle this post "Message to my Mother" because as of now she is the only person currently subscribing to my blogs.lol. This is officially my first blog. I am both very excited and nervous at the same time. To introduce my self to my future readers....My name is Nyjah Easton and I am a brown belt and international competitor under Master Lloyd Irvin. I have just begun the thrilling journey of opening an Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school with my brother. Oh, by the way did I mention who he was? My brother is the UWC Bantam Weight Champion of The World! He's a BJJ Black belt and best of all he's my number one training partner. Being able to have my brother help prepare me for some of the most important tournaments I have faced thus far in my career has been Awesome experience and has brought us even closer as siblings. Yet the love we share first began with the teachings of my mother. When we were kids my mom would tell us that it was our duty to take care of the other and make sure the other returned home safely. With those instructions my brother found himself in trouble numerous amounts of times for "taking up for his little sister". As a morphed from a child, to an adolescent, into a young women, I silently watched and learned patience, endurance, and humilty from my mother. I would sit back and watch her put the needs of others before he own and make connections with people who had never been reached out to. I knew in a lot of ways that I was just like my mother, but I had had not found my "thing" that I was good at. I didn't know how I was going to make a difference in this world, how I could leave a mark in society..... What better than to open up a martial arts academy. Im not sure where this journey is going to take me but I am ready for the ride!
Thanks Mom:-)
