Show Notes
Today, we have Dru Phoenix, a black belt, A and M BJJ owner in South Florida, and Marine Corps, veteran. One of the first things you notice about Dru is his glowing personality. We found Dru through his Instagram reels, and he had us laughing from the first one.
Dru's BJJ journey started after he separated from active duty. When he was first exposed to the UFC and Jiu-Jitsu, Dru said he did not like it and thought it was stupid. After his first time trying it, though, he was hooked like all of us.
We discuss the benefits that BJJ brings to the veteran's community through commodore, purpose, and the therapeutic side of training. Leaving the service can cause confusion, depression, and anger but the people and community found in martial arts can help you overcome them.
