The Adaptive X-Men: 7 Grapplers Unite To Spread Technique - a podcast by Jeff Shaw

The first ever Adaptive Jiujitsu Summit is happening right now in North Carolina: 7 disabled grapplers (the X-Men of Adaptive Grappling) have united to spread the art and their technique. We have a group conversation about wow they came together; how training with each other is invaluable but watching each other roll is useful, too; why having an adaptive athlete in your gym helps everyone; what to look for in an academy if you’re an adaptive athlete; how adaptive training changes both the athlete and the instructor; what coaches of adaptive athletes should know; and how jiujitsu changes lives (sometimes twice); along with some truly wicked humor. Check out maybe Jeff's favorite show ever, and listen to the end for BREAKING TORO CUP NEWS!
