E101: Jon Jarvis - Black Belt

Jon Jarvis is a Black Belt, and Owner of Kent Grapple basing in Sittingbourne, Kent. He started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in his early twenties after being inspired by a Head and Arm Triangle secured by Brock Lesner back in the day.

Jon started his competition career during his White and Blue Belt, and continues to build resilience of not giving up, through to his Brown Belt days when he commenced his journey into starting his own Jiu Jitsu school.

One of the challenges Jon is seeking to overcome is returning to competition. Many of us, as we continue our Jiu Jitsu journeys and progress through life may grow further away from the competitive nature of Submission Only and Competitions, however returning to grow our resilience as we age is something to consider.
