From competing internationally with Cage Warriors to Black Belt Jiu Jitsu, Charlie Falco is getting ready to put the Gi on for EJO.
In Episode 4 of the EJO Invitational Podcast, we meet Charlie Falco ahead of his under 64kg match against Kami San at the first-ever EJO Invitational.
And Charlie deserves some credit for simply making it onto this episode!
After overcoming more than a few technical issues to join the podcast, his determination to show up eventually won, and we're very glad it did.
Charlie comes to EJO with an extensive combat sports background. Alongside being a Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, he has competed internationally in MMA, including appearances with Cage Warriors.
For EJO, however, it's the Gi he's looking forward to putting back on.
Thankfully, this particular opportunity didn't arrive at 1am.
Charlie tells us he's used to getting calls from his coach or management at some fairly questionable hours, but Paul from EJO was considerably kinder when it came to arranging this match!
Now Charlie is grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to putting the Gi on and competing against Kami San.
We talk about his background in MMA and Jiu Jitsu, competing internationally, his appreciation for the opportunity to be part of EJO, and even the occasionally unconventional way those opportunities arrive.
Charlie expects both himself and Kami to comfortably come in under the 64kg limit, leaving them free to concentrate on what happens when they actually meet on the mats.
Two Black Belts. Under 64kg. Charlie Falco versus Kami San — and Charlie is ready to fight in the Gi. 🔥
