In this interview from 2014, I speak with Dr Valerie Worthington. Among the many strings to her bow, Val helps run Groundswell Grappling Concepts, writes for Breaking Muscle and teaches at Princeton BJJ. She also has a book out, 'Training Wheels', a training travelogue that takes a refreshingly cerebral look at BJJ.

In this interview, we talk about her background in the sport, her thoughts on women-only classes and chat about the genesis of that book (which she was still writing when we recorded this two years ago).
