Kyvann also shares insights on ecological training, (constraints led approach) his success in leveraging social media for engagement, and special moments from his competitive career. Kyvann discusses the unique culture at Bodega Jiu-Jitsu, the importance of having a women’s scholarship to promote female participation, and hilarious anecdotes that highlight his dedication and love to the sport.
