The Jiu Jitsu Journey - Dr. Valerie Worthington

Dr. Valerie Worthington is a jiu jitsu black belt currently teaching and training in Gracie Humaita Philadelphia. I first "met" Valerie through her writing on Breaking Muscle and Inverted Gear blogs, where I admired her ability to weave together life and jiu jitsu principles to enrich the experiences of both. Her personality, which I would describe as pragmatic wittiness, is what makes her ideas so compelling for the jiu jitsu practitioner. In this podcast, we talk about her journey in jiu jitsu, her current calling in and out of the sport, and how to make the best of any tough situation.
