Since then, Truesdale has coached thousands of kids who want to learn the martial art she’s passionate about.Truesdale started judo when she was three years old and said she fell in love with it.
“I hope that they do follow my footsteps and keep this tradition of this Olympic sport,” Truesdale said. “We have to keep it alive.” But after keeping it alive for more than a decade through Gracie Judo, changes in her rent situation are putting the dojo at risk of closing down. Trusedale said a new lease is unaffordable, and if she continues paying the current price on a month-to-month basis, she could get a notice at any time saying she has to leave in 30 days. “First, I feel like I was punched to the stomach and then second, it's like the hard work that comes to an end,” Truesdale said.
