Episode 54. From College Football To Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt
The conversation
About Billy Grimm.
Billy Grimm sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 54, “From College Football To Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt”.
Billy is a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt instructor, a coach, a father and the owner of a certified training center in Virginia. His academy grew from its first location into a much bigger space.
He did taekwondo for a summer as a kid in the 1990s, and later got into jiu-jitsu through a friend.
Billy talks about overcoming injuries, not using strength and size as a crutch, starting from the bottom to make sure he can survive first, and building a community that lasts.
