Armijo, B: Jiu-Jitsu Bravehearts

"Are you going to go through life avoiding everything that makes you feel uncomfortable? What kind of life are you going to have then?"
-Russell Brand
Everyone wants to be great, but who is willing to pay the price?

Jiu-jitsu is a sport with an old soul. It's an oppositional encounter impossible to appreciate fully without understanding the grit, courage, and determination required for excellence. In Jiu-Jitsu Bravehearts, Bobby Armijo tells the stories of more than two dozen jiu-jitsu competitors and champions, revealing the tests they endured to become the best of the best. Collected from years of international travel and in-person interviews, these stories show that no matter their ranking, each martial artist has at least one thing in common: they never gave up. With insight from jiu-jitsu champions and celebrities who include Marcelo Garcia, Jocko Willink, Felipe Pena, and Russell Brand, Jiu-Jitsu Bravehearts is a peek behind the curtain at what it takes to be a legend in jiu-jitsu, and life.
