TFW Denver's November 2022 Warrior of the Month is a huge inspiration to so many in this Familia. Today we celebrate Robin MacKinnon!
In August 2020, Robin had a terrible fall, seriously injuring her back, and has experienced chronic pain since. While she is still waiting on some necessary procedures to help ease her pain, Robin continues to regularly attend classes at the dojo, working through modifications and regressions to accommodate her injury.
Such pain certainly comes with frustration, anger, heartache, and feelings of wanting to quit. But Robin has truly tapped into her Warrior Within, and she has never given up. Some days, just walking into the dojo is excruciating, so she foam rolls and works on her PT exercises. She meets her challenges head on, does her best with the things she CAN, and she keeps showing up.
Time and again, students in her classes comment on how incredible Robin is for continuously putting forth her best effort, even in the midst of her obstacles. Robin has been a TFW Denver Warrior for close to six years now, and she has always displayed the qualities we look for when choosing a Warrior of the Month, but she has especially exemplified such a Warrior these past couple years.
We’re all so proud of you, Robin, for your perseverance and your grit, and we're here for you all along the way! Hallussa!
