Today’s guest is a former Division 1 wrestler. After falling in love with jiu-jitsu he soon realized he needed to leave his wrestling mentality and skills at the door if he really wanted to succeed in his new passion.
Professor Uday Malhotra joins us to discuss how he became exceptional on both the wrestling and jiu-jitsu mats, how jiu-jitsu humbled him, training with some legends of the art, and a ton more.
Here is The RŌL Radio with former D1 wrestler, former IBJJF NOGI World Champion, 2nd-degree black belt, and instructor at Gorilla Den BJJ, and Legacy Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, Uday Malhotra.
