Joe Rogan Personal life
Rogan once said that martial arts “gave me not just confidence, but also a different perspective of myself and what I was capable of. I knew that I could do something I was terrified of, and that was really difficult, and that I could excel at it. It was a big deal for me.”
Martial arts were “the first thing that ever gave me hope that I wasn’t going to be a loser. So I really, really gravitated toward it.”
Rogan got enrolled in the University of Massachusetts Boston but dropped out before graduating. He grew up in the Boston region till he was 24 years old.
Following Royce Gracie’s bout at UFC 2: No Way Out in 1994, Rogan got interested in jiu-jitsu. Rogan began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu at Carlson Gracie’s Hollywood, California, school in 1996.
