Jeff Joslin is driven to make a difference in his life and in others' lives. He does this by how he shows up in the world and through his words.

Inspiration doesn’t just float into our lives on a breeze, at least not every day, but if you’re looking to start 2026 feeling inspired to create something, to write, and to follow your heart, then I think you’ll really enjoy this episode of Found Voices.

Let me know what you think! Reach out!

Jeff Joslin is a martial artist in the truest sense of the term. Born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, he grew up engulfed in the martial arts. His father, Rick, a three-time Canadian karate champion, opened up the family martial arts academy back in 1967.

Since age five, Jeff has dedicated his life to martial arts. A black belt in both Karate (6th Degree) and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (5th Degree), he’s competed at elite levels and has accomplished many things:

• Won over 200 first-place titles in striking, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and submission wrestling competitions spanning two decades
• Canadian Black Belt Hall of Fame Member (Inducted 2022)
• First Canadian in history to win a major international Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament (Pan/American BJJ Championship 2002)
• IBJJF Master’s World Championship - Black Belt Bronze Medalist (2016)
• Fought in the UFC, TKO, Hardcore Fighting Championships and many other shows

Outside of teaching and training in martial arts, he loves spending time with his wife and two children. New to writing, he studies the art with the same passion and student mindset he brings as a fighter, and he looks forward to sharing many stories with readers in the future.
