Jamil Hill-Taylor is a rising star in the jiu-jitsu world. He’s young, he’s talented, he’s now a black belt world champion — and he’s just getting started. When he was at Checkmat Charlotte for a seminar this past week, Lourdes took the chance to interview the soon-to-be graduate of Howard University about his proudest achievement so far, his toughest competition at worlds, and what he really thinks about yoga.
They also discuss the woman black belt teammate that he thinks is the *next* world champion and the importance of youth outreach programs in jiu-jitsu.
