## Resource

Ben Johnston is a Black Belt training out of London Grapple who started with Muay Thai and continued to develop his ground game with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. After changing clubs some time ago Ben started to see and appreciate BJJ with many more dimensions to improve his game.   There are some doppelgangers in this community and Ben has at least one in Gavin Stewart. When they happened to be matched on Leicester Grappling Series they made the most of the hype!   Topics: Muay Thai Black Belt Promotion BJJ Doppelgangers Details matter Injury recovery Preparation BJJ Persona Gi or Nogi Broken fingers Rematches   GO FOLLOW Ben on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bjj_assassin_bjj/ Raine Clothing on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raineclothinguk/ London Grapple on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/london_grapple/   Official Partners of the podcast SoulTaker Fightwear: https://www.instagram.com/soultakerfightwear/   Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JiuJitsuLou Clips on TikTok and Instagram TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jiu.jitsu.lou Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jiu.jitsu.lou   UK BJJ Podcast hosted by Lou Temlett @jiu.jitsu.lou   PRODUCTION CREDIT: Kerr Mathieson of Audio Outsource MUSIC CREDIT: ARTIST: Maleki Ram | TRACK: Just A Little Boy   This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License .
