Expect to get the grapplers perspective on how and why Ikigai is paying Blue Belts more than ADCC pay females, why black belts are such divas, how the game has evolved, leg locks in the modern game, Steve background training with the Aspinall's and much more.

Steven Henshall is the founder of Henshall BJJ and Ikigai Submission Grappling. A former MMA champion and BJJ black belt (under Andy Aspinall, father of UFC heavyweight Tom aspinall) Steven has extensive experience in grappling as a whole, competing in some of the biggest Jiu Jitsu events in the UK and a regular on the local competition circuit.
