This week, we’re lacing up and leveling up! Coach MJ, founder of RVA Kicks Club (and our literal fitness savior), joins the pod to talk kickboxing, self-defense, and why getting punched might just change your life—in a good way.

We talk:

• How MJ turned street fights into a full-blown fitness career
• The real difference between boxing, kickboxing, and MMA
• Why women’s sparring events are everything
• What makes RVA Kicks so different

Plus, your fave O Lala chaos:

🛍️ Business of the Week: Kindhearted Goods in Church Hill

🎶 Show of the Week: Steely Dead at The Broadberry (Yacht Rock meets Deadheads)
