In this episode of March or Die, Jeremy Stalnecker and Sean Kennard sit down with educator and black belt Chris Ortiz to uncover how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is becoming more than a martial art. It's a life-changing tool that could change public schools. Chris shares his inspiring mission to bring grappling into Public School programs, equipping students with the physical, mental, and emotional skills they’re not getting from traditional classrooms or at home. They discuss how Jiu-Jitsu teaches discipline, emotional regulation, and resilience and how it helps kids face adversity, build confidence, and develop the grit needed to thrive. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or mentor, this conversation will challenge how you think about education, personal growth, and preparing the next generation for real life.
