How do you talk to the people in life about grappling? It isn't always easy to translate lingo like rolling, tapping, and berimbolo to those not in the know. But overcoming those barriers leads to being able to share this art that we love! We also talk about the time it takes to learn grappling. Whether it's measured in time, people we catch, or escapes we make, it takes time and dedication. And if you couldn't catch anyone anymore, would you still train? Starring Patrick, Cory, Mark, and introducing Matt!

Enjoy the Roll #3: Getting Your Taps In!

In our inaugural episode, Cory, Patrick, and Mark talk about our training, what brought us to the mat, and where we're going!
