Hey everyone, welcome back for a very special episode of Off the Mats Podcast. My guest this time around is a grappler, a father, and an author. Today we will sit with Mir Khalid Ali, the author of the Jiu Jitsu themed children's book, the Jiu Jitsu Ponytail. We discuss Khalid's inspiration to write such a wonderful story, along with his experience on the mat, the struggle of fathers tying the perfect ponytail, and his favorite super hero. Also, in celebration of the release of the e-book and paperback version of the Jiu Jitsu Ponytail, we announced a giveaway via social media for a signed copy of the Jiu JItsu Ponytail. It's easy to enter. Simply follow @jiujitsuponytail and @bjj.wiki on Instagram, tag 2 friends and repost on your feed. This will run until October, 4th and 2 winners will be selected on October 5th. As always, thank you for listening and good luck to everyone who enters. You can find Khalid on the links below on social media and you can visit the website for more on the book and its journey from idea to reality.
