Episode 15. Solo Travel, Minimalism & Running a Dojo
The conversation
About Muriel Palanca.
Muriel Palanca sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 15, “Solo Travel, Minimalism & Running a Dojo”.
Muriel is one of Nick's good friends from jiu-jitsu. They met when she came to train at Delaware Bushido Academy while she was training in Baltimore and traveling.
In Baltimore she worked in clinical research and did promo gigs on the side, before her adventures took her to the West Coast.
She talks about trading time for money and asking what the point is, the confidence jiu-jitsu gave her to be okay on her own, the hard times of running a school, and leaning on her faith.
“I felt so rich with having the least”
