What’s up, you hungry hungry grapplers? This week on the podcast, I sit down with Thomas Rozdzynski, the host of @therolradio and @rolacademytv in association with @rol_academy. In the episode, we talked about how we learn as grapplers and the evolution of the white belt coming into training. Also in our conversation, we discussed what we’d do if money wasn’t a factor and Thomas presented a very tough question regarding giving up jiu-jitsu if we were presented with 10 million dollars.
