The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast Ep 7: My Fight With Auto Immune Disease

Have you or any loved ones suffered from autoimmune disease? I discuss my experience with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and a solution that worked for me.

I also talk about my findings using the Greg Souders Ecological approach to Jiu Jitsu for the first week at my academy.
