What up, guys. Welcome to the Jiu-Jitsu podcast, episode 3.30. Today we have Dr. Mike, what is his last name?

Mike Pekarski, who goes by the Instagram title of Dr. Kickass. So he's a PT and a black belt and jih T. And they've done some work together.

And we're going to talk to him on the podcast, you know, a little bit about his start in jihitsu, but mainly we're going to talk about, you know, things that people do in jihitsu and things you

could do in jiu-jitsu to have longevity, right? Because he's 39. I'm 39. Eugene's 40. 41.

40-st me, 41. And as you start climbing up the age bracket, you start to get more focused on, I just want to keep doing this thing.

You know, because when you're young, you have this body that just seems to work forever and nothing ever seems to go wrong with it.

Then you get older.

And you're like, I need to protect this damn thing.

And so we're going to talk about a lot of different things related to prehab, rehab,

maintenance of the body, how to improve things,

longevity tips, things of that nature.

And we'll also talk about some of the things that annoy him

and why he basically gets really angry at knee brace companies.

that part will might be pretty interesting to you.

So we'll get into it in just a minute.
