BJJ Became His Obsession - Feat. Frank Mir

Step inside the fascinating journey of UFC legend Frank Mir in this candid new episode. Frank opens up about growing up training in his parents’ Kenpo Karate school and how those early days shaped his lifelong passion for martial arts and influenced his unique fighting style.

He shares what it was like towering over his peers as a 6 foot tall 12 year old, and how his unusual size affected his experiences in sports as a young athlete.

Frank takes us through the moment he shifted from wrestling to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, recounting the humbling lessons of constantly getting choked out until he began to master the art and make it his own.

We hear the remarkable story of his high school wrestling career: from losing his first nine matches to roaring back with a 44-1 record as a senior and capturing a state title.

Frank dives deep into the mindset required to endure failure and transform it into greatness, offering powerful reflections on perseverance, passion, and the love for the grind that separates champions from the rest!
