In this episode I chat with Mark Trowbridge, owner of Clarity Jiu Jitsu. We talk about how jiu jitsu is an amazing tool for stress management, anxiety, and some of the deeper benefits beyond the sport. We also talk about Mark's beginner program and how he designs practice for people trying jiu jitsu for the first time. We wrap up with some topics on the mental performance side, being intentional with training, and reflecting after.
