JULIA I.

"If there's a will, there's a way." Julia used that phrase long before she realised how much power it held. She started her combat sports career at just 12 years old with kickboxing, trained the sport for over nine years and competed in several tournaments, including the World Championships, where she had strong results. After school, her love for sports, movement and health led her to study Physical Therapy, earning her Bachelor's degree in 2023.

When she reached what felt like a plateau in kickboxing, Julia turned to boxing to face new challenges — she knew her love for the sport was bigger than a hobby. Four years ago she met Ikram Kerwat, a four-time boxing world champion, who has been her coach, manager and mentor ever since. They began training together three years ago, and in 2024 Julia had her first pro fight with Ikram in her corner.

Two years into her professional career, she has already fought on international stages in Albania and the United States against experienced opponents in her weight class, breaking into the top twenty in the world rankings. The journey has shaped everything she embodies today: willpower, endurance, love for the game and faith to keep going. Julia is driven by the question of how good she can become when she sticks to the work with discipline and focus. Her vision is clear — to become a multiple world champion — but the path that leads there is what she looks forward to most. Because trusting our own abilities is what carries us the furthest, and those abilities are often revealed to us through hardship. Do hard things willingly, and hard things get easier — that's how resilience is built.

Her courses focus on technique, tactics adaptable for competition, building a strong physical foundation, and training the mental muscle. Because giving your all, she believes, is all any of us can do.
