About this listen

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.

🔥 Hear how he overcame doubt, left aerospace, and used his layoff as the launching pad for his dream. Learn about the real-life lessons from the mat that apply to business, family, and personal development.

💬 We talk about:

The emotional and physical benefits of jiu-jitsu

  • The power of humility and patience
  • How martial arts training can impact mental health and decision-making
  • Why building legacy matters — on and off the mats

Whether you're in real estate, business, martial arts, or just looking for motivation — this is a conversation about resilience, faith, and doing something that matters.

🧠 Be ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even sign up for that class you've been putting off…
