Author’s take
Shane McMahon is indeed a true BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) practitioner, and anyone who happens to have trained in BJJ would definitely agree with this statement.
The pain tolerance and ability to push one’s body to the limit is something which is systematically taught to BJJ students—an art that Shane seems to have taken to very seriously.
Shane has been pretty vocal about his love for martial arts—BJJ in particular—and his incredible ability to have competed at WrestleMania 34 despite the hernia is praiseworthy.
Here’s wishing Shane O’Mac a safe and speedy recovery.
