In this episode, I talk with Studio 540 Black Belt, Gerry Ebert. Gerry comes to us by way of Rodrigo Madeiros. As you’ve caught on by now, Rodrigo’s is a rich source of a lot of well-known BJJ athletes. You should go to YouTube and search “Rodrigo Medeiros belt promotion.” Specifically, look for videos from the era of 2008-2012 and it will blow your mind to see the faces in the room.
