File No. 5 | Burning the Ships: How We Built the Jiu Jitsu Dream

In this File, we look back at the chaotic, stressful, and beautiful journey of building our Jiu Jitsu life from the ground up. From graveyard shifts and bartending to running open mats and hustling odd jobs, this one is about betting on yourself before you have proof it will work.

We also talk about the people and moments that shaped the path, from unexpected encouragement to lessons learned from saying yes to the right opportunities.
