Episode 32. Victim Mindset To Victor Mindset
The conversation
About Gabby Best.
Gabby Best sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 32, “Victim Mindset To Victor Mindset”.
Gabby is a jiu-jitsu athlete, academy owner, nurse and mother. She started training around late 2015 or early 2016 at Premier Martial Arts in Dover, where learning ground fighting was part of the path to black belt.
She became a leader in a sport dominated by men, and jiu-jitsu became more than training for her. It became therapy, purpose and a path forward.
Gabby opens up about overcoming trauma, shifting from a victim mindset to a victor mindset, and why she tells her students she loses all the time.
