You may know Julien Solomita for his popular vlogging series on Youtube where he talks about almost anything. He is also the boyfriend of Jenna Marbles and has also featured in her own Youtube videos where he teaches her BJJ moves.
Today, Solomita spoke about why he trains BJJ whilst streaming on his Twitch channel. He said “Jiu Jitsu is incredible for self confidence. If you out in the world and struggle with it, you want to be confident in yourself and the ability to handle undesirable situations. For me, Jiu Jitsu immediately helped my self confidence”
He continued “It gives you this advantage in life where you’re not looking at someone and sizing them up. You know you’re prepared, you’ve spent the time training so when situations happen good or bad you’re prepared”
For those wondering, he is legit as they come and there are multiple competition videos of Solomita on Youtube, as of 2020 he is currently a purple belt.
