Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu truly is a powerful tool to have in your toolbox. It can used to do good but in the wrong hands, can be dangerous.
Jocko Willink and Joe Rogan often discuss Jiu-Jitsu and they both believe that it truly is a superpower.
On an episode of the Joe Rogan Podcast where Jocko Willink was a guest, they were Geeking out on Jiu Jitsu and Jocko told a story about watching “The Incredibles” movie with his young kid and his kid asked him if ‘superpowers’ were a real thing. Jocko thought about the question for a minute then answered, “Jiujitsu”.
From September of 1990 to 2010 Jocko Willink was a Navy SEAL Platoon Commander and Seal Task Unit Commander leading hundreds of operations in combat. He earned his Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from world champion Dean Lister, competed at the national level in Submission Grappling, and has trained dozens of professional fighters. He has also coached and cornered fighters in numerous King of the Cage, Pride, and UFC events.
