Episode Description

In this short-form episode of Tapped In, we dive creating community between Jiu-Jitsu gyms. Creating this types of communities is massive for students and instructor development alike, specifically for smaller gyms.

I recently taught a Kimura Seminar at Five Peaks that was supported by all three gyms that I teach at to benefit a family who needed some support. It was an amazing event!
