The White Belt Life

By: Zak Bentley
  • Summary

  • Weekly podcasts from a thirty-something BJJ white belt reflecting on his journey from day one on the mats. My name is Zak and I'm a white belt... After every week of training, I take Bojack my lurcher for a walk in the French countryside and discuss my life as a white belt, the ups and downs of training, what I have learned along the way, and how I find myself developing with the addition of BJJ in my life, both on and off the mats.
