Samuel Spiegelman holds a degree in Exercise Science and a brown belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu. During his time training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu he realized there was a need for training information specifically for the Brazilian jiu jitsu practitioner. This gave Sam the opportunity to combine his knowledge of exercise science and BJJ to provide practitioners with training information designed for them. Training programs designed by Sam focus on improving the necessary requirements of the sport, proper nutrition, mobility, and lifestyle habits. It is Sam's goal to provide Brazilian jiu jitsu practitioners with everything they need to keep training for a lifetime.
