In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Friends of Mortgage Heroes, we sit down with Kimo Anderson, founder of Heritage Jiu-Jitsu in Chula Vista, CA — a passionate martial artist, devoted family man, and inspiring community leader. 🥋

Kimo shares how he started jiu-jitsu at age 41, how it transformed his life, and what drove him to open his own academy — not just to teach self-defense, but to build legacy, discipline, and community. His Academy stands as a beacon of personal growth for students of all ages, from kids to law enforcement officers, military veterans, and everyone in between.

💬 We talk about:
