Congratulations to a former student Amy Scully on winning Gold at the 2023 Jr. Atomweight IMMAF World Championships in Albania last November. We were delighted to welcome her back to St. Kilian’s for a talk to our Transition Year students at the beginning of December. Amy, also a former Double Junior European Champion in Jiu-Jitsu, shared some inspiring insights on how she has never stopped pursuing her dream when she first started practicing Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 8. She also talked about how much discipline it takes to be successful in the world of mixed martial arts and how her average day looks like. If she is not in the gym, she is very likely creating some delicious vegan recipes. As a very successful vegan food blogger, nutrition and keeping the right balance are keys factors to a fit and strong body and mind. A big Thank you to Amy for her visit and time, and for answering the many questions from the students. We wish her the best of luck with her future career.
