Hi Marty, This episode is quite unique from your typical guess appearances. I just want to say "great show and I'm a proud fan of the show." I had the experience of traveling to Brazil this summer to attend Master Pedro Sauer's training camp and I really enjoyed the experience immensely. Being around so many people of Brazil practicing jiu-jitsu so differently from the states. the togetherness demonstrated at a few gyms there was absolutely outstanding unlike I've ever seen before. However, I needed to comment on Jennifer's inspirational story. That is me in a sense because I come from a different culture. The same experience she had gone through is the same path I walked. I have nothing but a bucket of tears while I listen to the retelling of her life because I can relate. Even now, I still struggle with some things in my life due to past issues. I do too have a BA degree in psychology, and went in the field to figure out why cruel things happened to me; also understand people actions for what he or she do to others. I understand her pain, the depression, and I could go on with more. I'm cinjun Cinjun on Facebook and we are friends, so thanks for this story. I love all your episodes, but I will treasure this one the most. Sometimes it seems I'm alone because noone understands the abuse, addictions, or emotional ups and downs. Thanks again Marty and have a peaceful life
