LMA Grappling Documentary

This documentary follows MY, a 38-year-old mother dealing with chronic, debilitating back pain, through 30 grappling sessions. She started martial arts with LMA, initially in kickboxing, where she even competed. Now, she's transitioning to grappling with the LMA approach. I'm her first training partner. My background is in Brazilian jiu-jitsu with the gi from over a decade ago, but I have limited experience in wrestling or takedowns. I also deal with chronic pain, ligament injuries, scoliosis, and degenerative disc disease. MY and I are rebuilding our capacity for movement and play through LMA. Without this approach, we couldn't train or create new movements, such as wrestling and no-gi grappling.
