The 70s Session no.1 playlist runs more than 200 minutes long and is part of our Extended series of playlists, featuring songs that are good for jiujitsu.
Close your eyes and pretend you were there when the Gracies opened their first academy in the US back in the 1970s.
This is a rock-heavy playlist, presented in almost no particular order—Prince is the closer, but don't wait until Bambi starts before you lay waste to your training partners.
