Today’s guest has been on the mats through jiu-jitsu’s evolution from mostly private lessons taught by the Gracie family to the hugely successful academies we know today.
Fabio Santos joins us to share his wisdom from over 4 decades on the mats, the importance of keeping the self-defense aspect in jiu-jitsu, training with the legends of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the relationships he has built through the art, and a ton more.
