E051: Dan Strauss - Black Belt

Dan Strauss is an experienced commentator, and talks about his recent experience on Polaris 30, along with some of the technicalities of the role. He talks about the 50-60 matches commentating on Cage Warriors available on UFC Fight Pass since 2020. Dan was first interested in martial arts as a teenager, starting with Japanese Jiu Jitsu in Mill Hill, and he's been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for close to 20 years, and has been a Black Belt for 10 years. We talk about the journey of the art, discovering new techniques, and the depth and breadth of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as you progress. Grip training is very important for grip strength and longevity, not just in jiu jitsu but life in general. Dan shares his experience and knowledge in this area, with it being one of the most effective areas of training for the most beneficial physical results, especially for any grappler. Topics:CommentatingPlay-By-PlayPolarisCage WarriorsGive the energyBrazilian Jiu JitsuCompetitionSeminarsGrip StrengthStrong Man trainingMythology GO TO The Ape Academy: https://www.apeacademyonline.com/ Dan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ianbutlermma Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JiuJitsuLou JOIN my new show Double Mic Takedown Podcast: https://voxiferistudios.com/double-mic-takedown-podcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jiu.jitsu.louFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jiujitsuloupodcastJIU JITSU LOU Merchandise AVAILABLE NOW : https://jiujitsulou.com/shop PRODUCTION CREDIT: Kerr Mathieson of Audio OutsourceMUSIC CREDIT:ARTIST: Maleki Ram | TRACK: Just A Little Boy This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
