    083 - The Cloth Around Your Waist

    We've been busy Lee's training and traveling! Over the last few weeks, we've been to the Gentle Art Lifestyle Winter Jiu Jitsu Camp and a Chris Paines seminar. We traveled throughout the Gulf of Mexico on a fantastically relaxing cruise and cornered two young fighters through their novice MMA fights! After the fights, we were talking about different perspectives on the belts we tie our gi's with and kept that conversation going in this week's episode.
