The Impaired Grappler

Phillip Grapsas Black Belt under Pedro Sauer. Impaired with arthritis I do what it takes to stay on the mats as Stagnation Leads to Suffering. #impairedgrappling

My aim is to share my story as I work to become The Repaired Grappler in a natural way. 

I hope to inspire others to keep mobile using Gracie Jiu-Jitsu with a self defence mindset to help them find ways to grapple with impairments, metaphorically and literally.
