Maca Navas - The Sword Woman

Practicing a sword form in the park during COVID times, Maca Navas is known to the locals as "The Sword Lady." They don't know her name but they see her grace and commitment to her practice. Maca practices Kung Fu and Tai Chi.  In this Podcast, she shares how she struggled for many years of her life with an eating disorder, anorexia. She describes it as a "disease of her soul" where she did not feel comfortable in her own skin. Martial arts helped her overcome and cope with her personal challenges and allows her to be the person she feels she was always meant to be. She hopes that her story inspires others ...and it will.  For Maca's full bio go here: www.themartialartswoman.com Links & Info for Maca: www.macanavas.com Kung Fu Instagram @macarenita_navas Andrea's Motivational Books: The Martial Arts Women Book: https://www.amazon.com/Martial-Arts-Woman-Motivational-Stories/dp/1544916213  (or contact me for signed copies) Martial Art Inspirations for Everyone Book :  https://www.amazon.com/Martial-Inspirations-Everyone-Andrea-Harkins/dp/150297830X COMING SOON:  How to Start Your Own Martial Art Program
