    Thanks Guys!
    I trained with JT at Jared’s twice when he was still a brown belt. I quit for a long time after a bad car accident. Finally back on the mats. JT’s grip was so strong and I’m like 4 yrs older than him. Asked him how he trained grip and he said throw a gi or a belt over a pull-up bar and rip until you can’t rip anymore 😂🤣😂
    Was so kind and took the time to teach me a lot in such a short time.

    Great podcast, man as a grappler who's a Bronxite/NYer & Puerto Rican, JT makes me especially proud! His grind & resilience over the long-haul is inspirational. ✊ #RESPECT

    You have to feed the mind as you do the body. Even moreso right now that many of us can't actually train. Jiujitsu is mind, body and soul. Stay engaged, stay committed and no matter what, keep the fire burning! Great stuff Chewy and JT.
