Rolling until it Hurt Too Much with Blue Belt Russell Mel...

What this episode covers

In this episode I am joined by blue belt and former Jiu Jitsu practitioner Russell Melmed. Russell is a 4-stripe blue belt who no longer trains as a result of too many injuries which we get into in great detail in this episode. For the first part of the episode Russell and I spend a good deal of time getting to know each other since he is the first guest I have had that I have never actually spoken with before. We discuss a lot of our mutual interest in backcountry hiking. Russell is an avid backcountry hiker and even made sure his kids would have a love for it. After this, of course, we discuss Russell’s Jiu Jitsu career, the unique style of those who train at his gym, what its like training at multiple gyms, his thoughts on different belts, his injuries, and much more!There is something for everyone to enjoy on this episode of Rolling Over 40!
