GRAPPLING HOUR with Abraham La Montagne
from Grappling Hour · host raf esparza
Today we chat with Abraham La Montagne — namesake of "the Abe Lock" — a move that has a growing list of victims (myself included). In this episode, Abraham shares his journey from his early days in football and wrestling to becoming a professional grappler under the guidance of John Danaher at New Wave Jiu Jitsu. We discuss the value of mentorship, the development of his signature submission, and how his blend of wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu has shaped his rising jiu-jitsu career. Abe also tells us why he believes dance and jiu-jitsu are two sides of the same coin.——WE'VE GOT NEW MERCH: Head on over to https://www.rafesparza.com/merch You can purchase our BRAND NEW Grappling Hour HOODIES and T-SHIRTS.---- We’re on PATREON now!Head over to https://www.patreon.com/grapplinghourto become an EARLY ACCESS or PREMIUM Grappling Hour member.

What this episode covers
Abraham La Montagne is a beast. He's been keeping tabs on how many people he's hit the "Abe Lock" on in competition (not that we competed, but I can tell you from first-hand experience that it works). In this episode we have a great conversation about the extension of art through both jiu-jitsu and dance -- and the mentors who helped bring him to the mats.
