Back to Episodes#122 Sue King | From Tragedy to Changing Lives
Description
In this episode of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Podcast, Tony Murrell sits down with Sue King from Croxteth, Liverpool, one of the UK’s highest-ranked women in Japanese jiu-jitsu.
Sue’s story begins with unimaginable tragedy. At just five years old, she lost her family in a devastating flat fire, with her mother losing her life while saving her.
Sue opens up about growing up with that trauma, being bullied at school, and the mental health struggles she experienced throughout her life. She also discusses going through counselling and the importance of finally addressing some of the experiences she’d carried with her for so many years.
Martial arts would go on to completely change the direction of Sue’s life. Over a career spanning around 40 years, she developed into a highly respected jiu-jitsu practitioner before opening her own martial arts school.
But perhaps the most important part of Sue’s story is what she now does for others.
We hear about the children she teaches and the profound impact martial arts and her guidance can have on their confidence, discipline and self-belief. Sue explains why helping young people discover their own potential has become such a huge part of her life.
From losing her family as a child to dedicating her life to helping the next generation, Sue’s story is a powerful reminder that our circumstances don’t have to define our future.
A deeply moving conversation about trauma, resilience, mental health, martial arts and changing lives.
