In this episode, we have Matt Serra black belt who also trained extensively under John Danaher, Jason Rau. Jason is the grappler's grappler, for whatever reason he seems to go under the radar of the general BJJ mainstream. Jason is well known in the professional community for his uber-technical and hazardous leg game. Although being sidelined by injury as of late Jason is looking to make his comeback at the ADCC trials and I would definitely consider him a very live contender who could take gold.
In the episode, we talk about his days at both Matt Serra's and his time with Danaher at Renzo's in Long Island and in the blue basement in NYC. Jason would quickly climb the ranks of the Danaher Death Squad (John’s elite group of students). We talk about his new academy Vanguard, his injury, rehab, mindset, ADCC lessons learned, and a whole lot more.
