AOJ black belt Tom Wortman is a fierce competitor; he won IBJJ Pans, Euros, North Americans and Master Worlds in a single year as a brown belt. He’s also a jiu-jitsu gypsy, typically training at a club for 3 to 6 months, then moving thousands of miles to see a new part of the country and training at a new club.
Find out how he manages this nomadic lifestyle, what the red and green flags are for training at new clubs, how to stay injury free even when training 7 days a week, and redefining success on your own terms.
I hope you find Tom as inspiring and insightful as I did – enjoy!
