Preparing for a conversation with Robert Vega Jr., I found myself reflecting on the power of transformation and redemption. Robert's story is a profound testament to resilience, as he shares his journey from gang involvement and the isolation of growing up in a military family to discovering his self-worth and purpose. Through candid discussions, we explore the turning points that led him to a life dedicated to martial arts and the strength found in mentorship, highlighting how personal struggles can become the canvas for growth and self-discovery.

Robert's narrative doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of his past, including the brutal environment of the Texas Penitentiary. He recounts confronting the psychological and physical challenges of prison life, where faith, prayer, and teaching self-defense became his tools for survival and empowerment. His experiences are a stark reminder of the systemic issues within the prison system, yet they also illustrate the indomitable human spirit that rises above adversity to inspire others.
