4) listen to.

Police Training & Police Misconduct

Easily one of the most important podcasts I've ever listened to. From Brazilian Jiujitsu master Rener Gracie, we learn the shocking truth of how undertrained cops are.

By no means does this conversation claim to be the end all be all for police brutality. But as someone who has been transformed by the benefits of learning martial arts, I feel like too many people are confused and don't appreciate the difference between someone who is trained in armed combat and someone who isn't.

This chat puts politics aside and highlights something I'm incredibly passionate about (jiujitsu) and explains how it can prevent needless violence.

Extras.
