Why so blue, Russell?
Professional funny man and new world philosopher Russell Brand took to YouTube yesterday to discuss his recent promotion to blue belt and the various social and racial divides that BJJ is capable of bridging. A big theme Brand touches on is BJJ’s shocking ability to unite all people of any background under the same roof in the same of fellowship and self improvement, referencing examples from his own training experience.
