Week 2 of Corona lockdown and we’re forced to record over Zoom.  This episode is on Marcio Stambowsky, an eighth degree coral belt and mentor to our very own Kroyler.  He is one of six people to have received a black belt from Rolls Gracie.  With massive contributions to the triangle and closed guard, Marcio has established himself as an important figure in jiu jitsu.
