Finney’s MMA fighter and student Susie Wyatt has been interviewed at the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Susie, a mother and a grandma, has been training and fighting at Finney’s for years. The story includes several quotes from instructors and other students. For instance, Kyle Greenwood said:

“No one takes it easy on her,” says Greenwood, 26, of St. Louis. “We push her and give her a good fight. She is so bloody tough. She’s an inspiration. She’s an athlete, she’s a career woman, she’s a mother. I definitely look up to her.”

Couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Visit this link to read the full story.
