Exposure

This was originally going to be a youtube video and i'll still do a video on this, it'll just be detailed version of this post. I'm still fooling around with editing(partially deciding if i want/need to or not) among other things. There was question posed by the late, Ian Matuszak almost a year ago now. It's a simple one, but the possible solutions make it interesting. The question was: How do we get more exposure for Para-grappling? Well the answer is simple we create people. No matter how many tournaments there are like GrapplersHeart none of them matter in the long run, because people are interested people. No one says "That girl who does armbars I really like her." Everyone says "I really like Ronda Rousey." Now it's true that some people don't, but that's not the point. The point is that second sentence has a name. I'll leave it at that for now the youtube video will discuss how we do that. Until next time. Click an ad to s
