This week’s guest made a name for himself in the grappling world by winning a 250 man qualifying tournament for Kasai’s Elite Grappling Championship. A purple belt at the time, he defied the odds by not only winning but submitting four black belts along the way.
But overcoming the odds is nothing new for him. Child abuse, drug abuse, and injury are just some of the obstacles he has overcome on his way to achieving his goals of becoming a fighter and Jiu Jitsu black belt. On this episode, he discusses his incredible journey and what it took for him to overcome many of the things that would break most people.
Here is RŌL Radio with BJJ black belt under Murilo Santana, an instructor at Unity Jiu Jitsu, multi-time IBJJF 1st Place winner, and 2020 F2W bantamweight Champion, Edwin “Junny” Ocasio.
