BJJ legend Chris Haueter covers diverse topics from martial arts philosophy to political discourse. He links principles of Jiu-Jitsu to broader societal issues, discussing the balance between art, sport, and street applications in training. Haueter critiques modern political polarization and advocates for substantive dialogue over mudslinging.

Chris is a 5th degree Black Belt and member of the dirty dozen (the first 12 non-Brazilian black belts). He was the first American to submit a Brazilian in competition, the first American to compete as a black belt at the Mundials in Brazil and he continues to travel the world spreading his Jiu-Jitsu philosophy of think street, train sport, and practice art.
