Training in martial arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Judo, wrestling, & Muay Thai is my outlet for improving my mental health and becoming a better person.

In the 118th episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet show, I talk to BJJ blue belt Royce Banuelos.
Royce is a cartoonist and illustrator who recently began "LOL Roll", a BJJ comic series that makes hilarious jokes and observations about the Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle.
In this episode of Jiu-Jitsu Outlet, Royce and I talk about his comic series, his creative process as a cartoonist, and also about how Jiu-Jitsu training helps his mental health and life off the mats.
