This week’s guest is a newly promoted black belt under Essential Jiu Jitsu’s legendary JT Torres, Marcus Johnson.
Marcus sits down with us to discuss his 13-year journey from a high school wrestler with a 0 and 30 record to becoming the high-level Black Belt he is today. He details how his early struggles framed his mindset, how external factors affected his training, what it takes to become a high-level Jiu Jitsu practitioner, what is necessary to be a successful academy owner, and how he returned to Jiu Jitsu after long breaks from training.
Here is The RŌL Radio with a young man who has trained with the best in the world, Tatami to Go founder, coach, and GM at Essential BJJ, and new BJJ Black Belt, Marcus Johnson.
