Episode 67. Born In The Dojo, Now Running It
The conversation
About JJ Yu-Robinson.
JJ Yu-Robinson sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 67, “Born In The Dojo, Now Running It”.
JJ was born into karate. His parents met in Las Vegas, lived in Philadelphia, and opened their own dojo in December 2004, when JJ was about two.
Both of his parents were successful in karate, and his mom was one of the coaches when Nick went to Italy with the AAU team in 2010. His sister was on that team too.
JJ has competed on national and international stages, and he is now teaching and taking over the dojo his dad gave him. He talks about handling expectations, staying mentally locked in, and doing what you love for yourself.
