A documentary about carotid artery dissection in the BJJ community — anchored in Chris Martin's 2017 stroke during training. Help us finish and distribute a film that could save lives on the mat.
Why This Film Matters
In 2017, Chris Martin suffered a carotid artery dissection during BJJ training. This film documents his recovery and the broader pattern of strokes in the grappling community.
Carotid artery dissection is underdiagnosed in combat sports. This documentary brings survivor stories, medical expert interviews, and peer-reviewed research to the mat.
Four years of interviews, research, and production. The film is in active post-production and moving toward distribution across digital platforms.
Like all Martial Artrepreneur productions, this film creates digital assets — YouTube, podcasts, articles, and social content — that generate awareness for years.
