Description

This week we have a great interview with adaptive athlete Jess Munter. During birth Jess suffered a Brachial Plexus injury, as a result of this injury she is unable to use her left arm. Growing up Jess tried several sports but they did not fit her and they ended in frustration. A couple of years ago Jess found Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the benefits she is getting and passing on from BJJ is an inspiring story.

We talk about:

• Training BJJ on a busy schedule
• Her Brachial Plexus injury to her left arm
• Other sports she tried before jiu-jitsu
• How she discovered jiu-jitsu was good for her
• What jiu-jitsu has done for her off the mat
• What it was like training during her first month
• Her goals to help people
• How BJJ has helped her become more positive
• She shares stories about doing tournaments
• Dealing with frustrations on the mats
• How she stays safe on the mat
