Kit Dale on his return to Jiu-Jitsu, task-based games, and his new film; White Belt – JitsCast #22

Kit Dale is one of the top Jiu-Jitsu competitors to ever come out of Australia and a pioneer of ecological training in the sport, or what he calls task-based games. Kit is an ADCC veteran who enjoyed a very successful career despite transitioning to Jiu-Jitsu from Australian-rules Football late in life, and he recently made a return to competition after several years away.

Jits Magazine spoke to Kit about his unique experience as one of the first high-level Jiu-Jitsu competitors to come out of Australia, and how he discovered the sport to begin with. Kit also discussed how he came to be a pioneer of using task-based games in the sport, and the ecological movement as a whole. We also spoke about Kit’s career as a writer and actor, ahead of the release of his new film; White Belt.
