In this interview, Candice and I touch on a few topics like how we came back and why we stayed on our jiu jitsu journey after sustaining injuries in the sport.  We were hesitant to chat about the injuries because we really want people to try jiu jitsu but it's what came up for us to talk about.  And honestly, I'm glad it did. 

She couldn't put pressure on her leg for eight weeks and I couldn't work for 3 months because of my injuries... and we still show up.  We wouldn't do that if it wasn't something we love or it wasn't something we got value out of.

The episode isn't about our falls... it's about how we got back up and kept going.

We also chat about why we started jiu jitsu.  Both of our reasons were very different which has resulted in very different goals and mindsets while training.  She started because after she tried it, loved it, loved the workout it provided, and found out we were good at it.

I started because I needed a practical self-defense tool in my every day life.  

I hope you enjoy this podcast.  We laugh, a lot, because we are best friends and I'll always be grateful for jiu jitsu because it brought us together
