I Learned Jiu-Jitsu Before Going to Prison... It Changed Everything
from Small Man Jiu Jitsu Hosted by Robin Fujimura
Thang Nguyen's journey is proof that one decision can change the course of an entire life. He began training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu because he knew he was going to prison. What started as preparation for survival became a lifelong passion that transformed him into a first-degree black belt, respected coach, competitor, and founder of Underground Jiu-Jitsu in Hawaii. In this episode, Thang shares powerful stories about prison, competition, COVID, building one of Hawaii's most unique jiu-jitsu communities, coaching the next generation, and why it's never too late to begin. This conversation is about redemption, resilience, leadership, and the life-changing power of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
