Miguel Torres and Mr. Miyagi - a podcast by Jeff Shaw

Veteran fighter and accomplished grappler Miguel Torres talks with Lourdes about a multitude of topics (including some breaking news). Learn about his experience with Traditional Martial Arts growing up; his' parents support, and the harrowing story of the first fight his mom watched; his thoughts on the IBJFF; when we'll see him compete again; training with Ricardo De La Riva & Carlson Gracie Sr., & who his Mr. Miyagi was; why he bonded with Carlson Gracie Sr.; helping out lower-income people who want to train; growing up as a nerd with a fanny pack; his favorite way to make tacos; and the magic of airbrushed gi patches.
