Episode 49. Building a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu School From Scratch
The conversation
About Logan Yuen.
Logan Yuen sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 49, “Building a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu School From Scratch”.
Logan is a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu instructor in Holladay, Utah. He started as a teenager with no martial arts background, and at the time of the episode he was getting ready to open his own Gracie University certified training center.
He was a blue belt for eight years and a purple belt for less than a year and a half, and he wants students who feel passed over to know their hard work will be worth it.
Logan talks about how jiu-jitsu changed the direction of his life, choosing what is right over what is convenient, and finding purpose where passion meets service.
