Join us as we step into the world of Brazilian jiu-jitsu 3rd degree black belt James Clingerman. As we hear about his Brazilian jiu-jitsu journey and lineage, he also dives into his encounter with a random act of violence that changed his life forever. 

James also speaks about his ever-growing buisnessses. We get to hear the story of how our very own Chad Kuhn of Team East Coast Martial Arts (www.teameastcoast.com) was promoted to a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt by Clingerman. James also speaks of the many people in the jiu-jitsu community.  He mentions many projects that he and his wife, AJ Clingerman, are involved in, as well as his main sponsor Originmain.com.

You can find James at his academy IBJJA.com and his demostration DVDs on BJJfanatics.com. Also be sure to check out thefighthub.com for all your gear needs.

His Extreme Grappling Tournament can be found at Extremegrapplingopen.com.

 AJ Clingerman is the founder of an all-women jiu-jitsu camp, which can be found at rollmodelswanted.com.

Also, look for AJ's podcast on all major platforms at Beauty and the Gi, where she and fellow jiu-jitsu practitioner Jen Edds talk about jiu-jitsu and life.

James also discusses our good friend and jiu-jitsu black belt Kristian Woodmansee of Logicphilly.com.
