Beginner Jiu-Jitsu EP02

Spanish for the BJJ Academy

Pablo · Mexico City

About this episode

If you train jiu-jitsu — or you've ever thought about rolling in a Spanish-speaking country — this one's for you. Purple belt Pablo tells the story of his first day at a new academy in Mexico City and teaches the real mat vocabulary along the way: la academia, el kimono, el cinturón, rodar, and how to introduce your belt and your game without missing a beat.
