The You-Jitsu Podcast

  • Summary

  • “The secret of this sport is, while you're the nail, hang in there, let them hit you, until the day you become the hammer, then you smash them back!” That quote is from the legendary Master Renzo Gracie. In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we all start as the nail. On the You-Jitsu podcast, my goal is to help you – and myself – spend less time getting hammered and more time dishing it out. I am Kevin Pannell, a 50-year-old BJJ blue belt with over five years on the mats. I am also a three-time unofficial warm-up round world champion.
