Former MMA fighter Dale Corzine talks MMA career, crushing defeat, and finding his passion for jujitsu again

In this episode I am joined by former MMA fighter and BJJ practitioner Dale Corzine. We discuss the origins of Dale's interest in martial arts starting with Tae Kwon Do and wrestling as a youth followed by MMA as a teen.

Dale had dreams of pursuing a career in MMA right out of high school and he takes us through all of the ups and downs of this journey. Working an intense manual labor job by day and adhering to a grueling MMA training schedule by night, Dale had every intention of making his dream come true.

He then breaks down every gripping moment of his big 3 fights and the emotional and physical toll it took on his mind and body. This ultimately led to the unfortunate and difficult decision to no longer pursue a career in MMA and furthermore, to stop training altogether.

However, after a ten-year break, Dale has found his passion for martial arts again; this time in the form of jujitsu. Along with his son, he trains regularly at Steez Jujitsu Club in Tustin and even plans to compete this coming May.

You will not want to miss Dale himself recounting his journey in this episode. Hope you enjoy!
