Episode 45. "Shirtless Reese" On Jiu-Jitsu & Racing
The conversation
About Reese Lohman.
Reese Lohman sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 45, “"Shirtless Reese" On Jiu-Jitsu & Racing”.
Reese started jiu-jitsu right after his 21st birthday. He felt lost in life, searched for the best jiu-jitsu places in Delaware, and walked into Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Smyrna, a few minutes from his house. He fell in love with it immediately.
Living with a brain injury, Reese keeps pushing. When the episode was recorded, he had 30 partnership deals with brands, a Spartan Race and two bodybuilding shows ahead, and he was getting his business license.
He talks about finding the right support system, doing five things he hates every morning before the gym, and learning to laugh at himself.
“I started jujitsu right around after my 21st birthday”
