Kendall Reusing | From Jiu-Jitsu World Champion to Entrepreneur: Building Success On and Off the Mats
Kendall Reusing is an 8-time world champion black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, founder of Jiu Jitsu Accelerator (JJA), and host of the Get a Grip Podcast. She’s also one of the most respected commentators and entrepreneurs in the BJJ world. In this conversation, we discuss her competitive journey, building a personal brand in Jiu-Jitsu, and her impact on women in the sport. We also talk about her entrepreneurial drive, how she carved out a commentary career at high-profile BJJ events, and the mindset required to overcome injuries, navigate identity challenges, and perform at the highest level — whether competing at ADCC, behind the mic, or beyond.
