GRAPPLING HOUR with ABRAHAM LA MONTAGNE

Today we chat with Abraham La Montagne — namesake of "the Abe Lock" — a move that has a growing list of victims (myself included).

In this episode, Abraham shares his journey from his early days in football and wrestling to becoming a professional grappler under the guidance of John Danaher at New Wave Jiu Jitsu.

We discuss the value of mentorship, the development of his signature submission, and how his blend of wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu has shaped his rising jiu-jitsu career. Abe also tells us why he believes dance and jiu-jitsu are two sides of the same coin.
