We all know we suck at jiu-jitsu when we start and today’s guest wants us to keep that mindset throughout our jiu-jitsu journey. 

Josh McKinney is on a quest to “suck less at jiu-jitsu” and he shares his philosophy on why thinking we are good can hold us back, how and why he became hooked on 
jiu -jitsu, why he feels an academy owner should teach classes, and a ton more.

Here is The RŌL Radio with the owner and instructor of HeahNodHQ jiu-jitsu, 16x IBJJF gold medalist, Kyle Watson black belt, and host of the I Suck At Jiu Jitsu Show, Josh McKinney.
