In the 121st episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet show, I speak with researchers and martial artists Jamie Marich and Annie Pirkl.

Together, this duo authored the amazing book "Transforming Trauma Through Jiu-Jitsu" about how training in martial arts like Jiu-Jitsu can heal trauma and release it through the body.

In this episode, I sit down with Anna first and then Jamie later to discuss their research and learn more about how training in combat martial arts can heal mental health.

Grab their book "Transforming Trauma with Jiu-Jitsu: A Guide for Survivors, Therapists, and Jiu-Jitsu Practitioners to Facilitate Embodied Recovery" here on Amazon:
