ACS #173 Joe Rotta - PERSEVERANCE

Joe Rotta began training in 1994 after watching UFC 2 with Royce Gracie. He had some major injuries along the way, where he thought he would never train again. Finally after a 13 year hiatus he was given the ok by his doctor and has never looked back. I love talking old stories with Joe on the early days of Jiu-Jitsu in America. It was an honor to promote him to Black Belt last year and glad we got to finally sit down and talk about some of his journey in the art.
