Episode #122- Edwin ”Junny” Ocasio

Edwin "Junny" Ocasio dropped by the show tonight!  A fan of this guy for a long time, since I started promoting BJJ shows back in 2014!  One of the original Unity Jiu Jitsu NYC students under Murillo Santana!  We covered things like him becoming comfortable with his jiu jitsu, the trust he has it in and how it finally clicked.  A talented athlete, multiple time Pan Am Champ, Kasia Pro Grand Prix 2nd Place, Fight 2 Win Bantamweight champ and when his mental game caught up to his talent, that is when he really became part of the next level of elite grapplers in the world.  I loved talking about training at Unity and the certain mindset you need to get through those 13 - 10 minute rounds in that crazy heat!  We finished off with some NYC chatter and how covid has made the city changed!  A fantastic listen for anyone but especially that up and coming grappler!  This guys a stud, and a super gem of a human!  Give him a follow, enjoy!
