A Smooth Talk About Rough Hands
from The Old Bastard's Guide to Surviving (and Thriving) on the Mats
Today we are joined by a very close friend of mine, one of my cohosts at Fighting Matters, owner of Rough Hands Jiu-Jitsu in Louisville, Kentucky, and an all around wonderful human being, Jesse Walker. Jesse tells us about what brought him to training first Krav Maga, and then Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We talk about how Rough Hands came to be, starting as pop up classes in local parks, to the successful school it is today. He tells the story of the terrifying, life threatening health challenges he has faced, and gives insight into what helped him get through that dark time and back to the mats. We also talk about "California Rolls" - Jesse's methodology to "fix the problem with flow rolling." All in all, this is a great time spent with a great person. Tune in if you want some good stories, good advice, and good vibes. Happy rolling!Mikewww.roughhandsbjj.comwww.patreon.com/OldBastardBJJ
