Today, we're discussing something every BJJ practitioner faces: feeling down when things aren't going well.
We've all been there, stuck under someone big or failing at moves. But before you let frustration take over, let's chat about giving yourself a break. BJJ is challenging, with ups and downs. It's okay to mess up. Instead of beating yourself up, try being nicer to yourself.
Celebrate the small wins, focus on progress, not being perfect, and don't compare yourself to others on social media. And when things get tough, talk to someone who gets it. Remember, you're not alone in this journey.
Keep showing up, keep learning, and keep growing. Share your thoughts below, and let's keep this conversation going. Thanks for watching, and see you next time!

We are diving into the real talk about belt colors in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I'm breaking down the myth that your belt defines everything, making a solid point about focusing more on getting better at Jiu-Jitsu than stressing over the next belt.
Belts are acknowledged as milestones, but the key is your progress and skill development. Don't forget that belts mean different things for everyone, based on factors like age and experience. Think of belts as pit stops on a road trip, not the whole journey or getting a driver's license - it's just the start, and learning never stops.
You should set practical goals and compete at your belt level to measure your skills. Bottom line: focus on consistent training, dedication, and personal growth, not just belt colors.

In this video, we delve into whether Jiu-Jitsu is suitable for everyone. The discussion was sparked by an Instagram reel from influencer Brad Lea, who shared his humorous take on why he didn't enjoy Jiu-Jitsu.
We explore the idea that judging individuals for not wanting to pursue Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be elitist and counterproductive to growing the community.
The reasons why Jiu-Jitsu may not be for everyone are examined, ranging from physical demands and potential injuries to psychological aspects, financial commitments, and time constraints. Personal preferences also play a significant role; some may prefer other martial arts or fitness activities.
Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts on whether Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone and your experiences with the martial art. Remember, it's crucial to avoid judgment and embrace people's diverse choices in pursuing physical and mental well-being.

In this episode, Travis interviews Rob Cole, an experienced martial artist and Jiu Jitsu practitioner, about the ecological approach in martial arts training.
They discuss Rob's background in various martial arts, the evolution of martial arts, and the role of ecological dynamics in Jiu Jitsu.
They also explore the difference between positional sparring and the constraints-led approach, and how to apply the ecological approach to beginners. Additionally, they discuss the benefits of the ecological approach for hobbyists and the challenges of implementing it in gi Jiu Jitsu.
In this conversation, Rob and Travis discuss the importance of grips in Jiu-Jitsu and how different grips can be used to gain inside position and control. They also explore the concept of constraint-led classes and how they can benefit both small and large practitioners.
Rob shares his approach to teaching and developing games, emphasizing the importance of representative learning design and constant adjustment. They discuss the potential commercialization of ecological dynamics and the need to maintain the scientific approach behind it.
The conversation concludes with Rob offering advice for brand new white belts and where to find him online.
Takeaways
•The ecological approach in martial arts training emphasizes realistic and game-based training to develop practical skills.
•Positional sparring is different from the constraints-led approach, as the latter focuses on creating specific scenarios and goals for learning.
•The ecological approach can be applied to beginners by starting with simple and clear goals in constrained environments.
•The ecological approach is particularly beneficial for hobbyists, as it maximizes training time and provides a more engaging and effective learning experience.
•Instructionals can still be useful in conjunction with the ecological approach, but the focus should be on understanding concepts and goals rather than memorizing techniques.
•The ecological approach can be adapted to gi Jiu Jitsu by focusing on specific goals and constraints related to grips and positions.

If you have been paying attention to the BJJ coaching space, you might have noticed a new way of looking at teaching called Ecological Dynamics.
But what is Ecological Dynamics, and why is it now finding a prominent place in jiu-jitsu?
If you were to Google "Ecological Dynamics for BJJ," you might be met with faces like Greg Saunders and Ed Ingamels.
Both are incredibly intelligent and authorities in the relatively contemporary space.
But honestly, both can use some terminology that can turn curious ears into confused minds.
My ultimate goal with this conversation is to make the topic more palatable for those curious ears new to the topic.
Today, I have Kabir Bath, a black belt under the legendary Rafael Lovato Jr. and owner of Kaboom BJJ.
Kabir started his journey 17 years ago and opened his academy six years later as a Purple Belt, quickly earning his brown belt afterward.
A year ago, almost to the day, Kabir switched to teaching all his classes in the Ecological Dynamics approach to skill acquisition.
Follow Kabir here!

https://www.instagram.com/kaboombjj/
https://www.instagram.com/kaboomkidsbjj/
Be sure to join the Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/elbroscommunity
In this conversation, we discuss:
-His growth as a coach and academy owner
-What Ecological Dynamics (ED) is to him
-The benefits of ED for beginners
-
Common critiques and questions about ED
-
Pros and Cons of Teaching in an ED approach
-
How to make ED the mainstream way of coaching in jiu-jitsu.
And much more!
So sit back, relax, and grab a notepad!
And maybe by the end of our conversation, you will better understand this growing approach to teaching sport!

Join us as we explore Mike's incredible achievements and the life lessons he's gathered along the way. Mike's story is about more than just personal accomplishments; it's about using your own experiences to inspire and uplift others.
Mike shares his insights on setting big goals and the importance of holding ourselves accountable. He delves into his Atlantic Challenge solo expedition, a remarkable feat that took over three years in the making and raised an astonishing £175,000 for charity. Discover how this epic adventure inspired people worldwide and what it taught Mike about the power of human connection.
One of the standout moments of our conversation is when Mike talks about his "Detox" designated time away. He explains why taking a step back from the noise of everyday life can be so essential and shares his own transformative experiences during these breaks.
The ocean has been a profound teacher in Mike's life, and he distills its wisdom into five powerful lessons:
- Show up, Be You. Be Your Authentic Self.
- Don't Look Past the Next Wave. Tackle Life One Problem at a Time. (Set Big Goals!)
- Live a Life Without Limits. Have No Regrets. (Change whatever you need to so you are happy.)
- Stop Playing Games You Can't Win. (Summit of the first half of your life)
- Human Connection is Everything!
But it doesn't stop there. Mike also opens up about the incredible challenge of spending 46 days alone, providing insights into his deepest reflections and personal growth during this time.
We also glimpse Mike's journey in martial arts, from a challenging beginning to achieving a black belt in 2017 and ultimately opening his academy in 2020.
Throughout the episode, Mike Bates exemplifies what it means to be a positive role model for young men and for everyone seeking to live a life of purpose and passion. Join us as we dive into his incredible story and uncover the wisdom and inspiration he has to offer.

Today we have the privilege of talking with first-degree black belt Shane Weinischke. Shane owns Weinishchke Martial Arts in Telleshasee, Flordia.
Shane's story is like many of ours in he uses jiu-jitsu to help him grow in all aspects of his life, both physically and mentally. Shane has been a martial artist since 1991, when he first started taking karate lessons as a kid. After training TKD for years, Shane was exposed to grappling by his instructor and instantly hooked.
Shane's primary goal in our conversation was to show the differences in how training jiu-jitsu today is much different than 20 years ago, for better or worse. His views on competition, training within your academy, and mental training, among everything in this episode, are knowledge practitioners at every level could gain from.

Today we have the incredible pleasure of speaking with Kristina Barlaan, a second-degree black belt under Caio Terra.
Kristina initially did not find jiu-jitsu interesting after starting to train Muay Thai at Cesar Gracie‘s Gracie Fighter Academy. Her first experience with training jiu-jitsu was during a NoGi class; she did not initially enjoy it. A couple of months later, a friend convinced her to try jiu-jitsu a second time, and it stuck.
It would be hard to tell from her infectious personality, but Kristina is very candid about her struggles with mental health, and she overcomes it for BJJ. Her perseverance in fighting her mental battles is inspiring; what she has accomplished adds to it. Even as a high-level competitor with a list of accolades anyone would be proud of doesn't stop Kristina's imposter syndrome from rearing its ugly face once in a while.
Kristina mentions that no one should go through their struggles alone, and that is why so many people gravitate towards BJJ to help with their mental health. Everyone must have a circle of people who can support and help them.

We are joined by Kieren Lefevre and BJJ Blue belt, YouTuber, personal coach for jiu-jitsu practitioners, and Cohost of Beyond Jiu-Jitsu Podcast.
Kieren is very personable and easy to talk with. In Kieren's answers, he gives a deep sense of understanding and authority in the strength and conditioning, and nutrition for BJJ practitioners, but he breaks it down so that it is consumable by the masses.
Kieren's journey into jiu-jitsu is like many of ours and is very relatable. He was hesitant to join, thought he would be better than he was, and was instantly bit by the BJJ bug. In our conversation, we discuss his competing journey, the best exercises and equipment for BJJ S&C, the difference between normal lifting and sport-specific training, nutrition for BJJ athletes, how to cut weight for competition properly, best supplements for BJJ, and much more.
This conversation is an incredible source of information for everyone. Grab a pen and paper, sit down for a while, and enjoy the feast of knowledge.

After training for almost five years, Jon and Travis give their seven tips to help you make your jiu-jitsu class better.
- Train with intention.
- Spar
- Set goals
- Have three types of training partners (Which could be hard when you first start)—someone less skilled, someone with the same skills, and more experienced.
- Ask questions. Don't feel stupid if you don't understand something or need to see a technique again. Someone else is most likely thinking the same way.
- Try the techniques you learned in class. You will have the most resistance when doing it in the same class you learn it.
- Focus, Breath, and Don't panic

In today's episode, Travis sits down for the second time with Thomas Rozdzynski.
Travis and Thomas discuss how their ideas and concepts have changed since their white belt days. They discuss what space means, how to teach students better, education, winning and losing, the stages of survival, tracking your progress, and being okay with saying I don't know.
Thomas is a wealth of knowledge. His 20-plus years of being on the mats have changed his mind about ideas multiple times. It is always great having an intelligent conversation about your passion and learns from it.

Today we are joined by Sergio Hernandez. Sergio is a black belt under Baret Yoshida in beautiful sunny San Diego. Sergio is currently a full-time tattooer and owns a tattoo shop. In the jiu-jitsu community, Sergio is known for the innovative guard he created called Sergio Guard and his incredible flexibility.
In our conversation, we discuss Sergio's journey, training for longevity, training in the gi and no-gi, the relation between tattooing and BJJ, and much more.
Sergio is an incredible person to converse with. When talking with us, he would often pause and think before giving an answer he didn't fully believe in each word. Even at times, you can see and hear the carefulness in his answers. Sergio is down to earth and inspiring for anyone who wants to continue to train and compete into their 40s.

Laurenz is currently a purple belt and the creative director for Hyperfly. He has been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since 2009. Laurenz's parents started Hyperfly after putting him and his brother in BJJ to keep them busy.
Laurenz is very open and honest about his journey in jiu-jitsu. Working in the industry and being a practitioner has made him look at training differently than most. It is always great talking to someone with a story similar to the average person's. We have day jobs, families, and other hobbies that are a particular priority in our lives besides training.
In this conversation, we talk about Laurenz's BJJ journey, how Hyperfly was started, earning his blue belt twice, having a love-hate relationship with jiu-jitsu, and more.

Haisam's journey in jiu-jitsu has been anything but easy. Haisam is Ghana-born BJJ black belt out of Assembly Jiu-Jitsu in Detroit, Michigan. After leaving Ghana at 15 years old to live with his dad in Japan, Haisam found BJJ and never looked back. Haisam recently gained massive attention after submitting Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu in 1:14 at ADCC.
Haisam realized his potential in jiu-jitsu when he was a purple belt and decided to take the leap and change schools to Carpe Diem in Toyko, Japan. In this episode, we discuss his performance and ADCC, submitting Cyborg, how he prepares for competition, training as a big guy, combat sports in Africa, and much more.

Michael Currier is a BJJ black belt and Army vet and owns Impact Jiu-Jitsu Fountain Hills amounts many other things.
Michael was active in numerous sports, from wrestling to skateboarding. He has a natural desire to compete and push his limits. He contributes much of his success in BJJ, contrary to what many think of gymnastics and not so much his wrestling. Michael was offered to do gymnastics at Penn State but decided to join the Army instead.
Michael is very forthcoming about growing up poor and the failures in his life that have shaped him into the person he is today. Mike mentions that people should not be afraid of failures. Everyone fails. Everyone loses. What matters is how you overcome those adversities.

Today we sit down with Rob from McDojoLife. Rob has been doing martial arts for 25 years and started on his 12th birthday as a gift from his mom. Unfortunately, the road that led Rob to martial arts is not a pretty story.
In this conversation, we discuss how Rob started martial arts, improved self-confidence through training, how to turn BJJ into a more spectator-friendly sport, cults, and much more.

Today we have the great pleasure of having a conversation with Aaron Jannetti. Aaron is a BJJ brown belt, Co-owner of Endeavor Defense & Fitness, and the creator of Kife Control Concepts.
Aaron has a view of self-defense that not many others have. He wants to ensure that people know there is more to self-dense training outside of BJJ.
During our interview, Aaron constantly prefaces his answers by differentiating between self-defense and jiu-jitsu. Aaron's unfiltered approach to how we must be able to defend ourselves by staying in shape and continuously training is something many people might not hear. Be honest with yourself and take a humble approach to learn how to protect yourself and your family.

In this episode, we sit down with blue belt brother Uke Mike from the excellent podcast Jordan Talks Jiu-Jitsu. Uke Mike trains under Jordan Preisinger in Ontario, Canada, at Limitless Jiu-Jitsu.
Uke Mike is an excellent example of how BJJ is not only great for the body but can also be an incredible tool for the mind. He has a fantastic story of overcoming many adversities from being overweight and drug addiction. Mike is very open about how if it was not for his love of Jiu-Jitsu, he might not be on this Earth still.

Today we have the pleasure of talking with Jim Trick, who has recently skyrocketed in popularity thanks to his Instagram Page "MyWhiteBelt." Jim is currently a BJJ purple belt training out of First Colony BJJ.
Jim is a perfect example of what you can do if you are determined and do not make excuses. Jim is very honest with us about the good and not-so-good aspects of training BJJ, difficulties training later in life, being the sweaty guy, and mindset when first starting your jiu-jitsu journey. At his heaviest, Jim was well over the 400 lbs mark.
BJJ's impact on Jim's life is easily seen in what he writes and talks about. Many of us are looking for others that might know what we are going through in our journey. Jim's page offers some guidance and motivation for any new practitioner of the gentle art.

Today we had the fantastic pleasure of talking with Ben Phelps, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt, a transformation coach, and the host of the What Now Podcast. Ben is a beacon of light for anyone struggling with weight and thinking they can't change their life. Ben has lost over 150lbs, and at his heaviest was 333lbs. With the knowledge gained from his experience, Ben now helps others achieve their goals of transforming their lives.
Ben is very transparent with his daily struggles with weight, keeping the weight off, and fitting in training as a father and husband. He is also very critical of himself for better or worse. Ben's passion for helping others achieve their goals is easily felt. Not many people conjure the mountain that is weight loss, but once someone hits the summit, it is easy to see that with determination and perseverance, anyone can do it.

Today Jon and Travis sit down with the founders and secretary of a nonprofit called A New Grip. Christina and Samantha founded A New Grip together in 2020 to "help sexually exploited individuals as well as human trafficked survivors take back their lives and find their inner peace again using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a form of therapy and exercise."
What these ladies are doing to help others is inspiring and essential. Human trafficking and sexual exploitation of women and children are more significant problems than many realize. Samatha's day job is a police officer who has to see the real-world situation of trafficking. But, with their organization's help, they can genuinely make a difference in people's lives and help them find inner peace again.

Today we have the great pleasure of talking with Zakk Miller, a BJJ Black Belt, BJJ Globetrotter Instructor, Marine Corps Staff Sergeant, and We Defy Training Facility Coordinator living in Arizona. Zakk wears many essential hats and gives the feeling of successfully wearing each one.
Zakk started BJJ when he was 19 years old and reflected on many lessons he wished he would have learned when he was a white and blue belt. During our conversation, Zakk brings up a great concept on how to ask people what you can do to improve. His answer is an eye-opener and can change the way you look at how you are asking for help for improvement. It is easy to see that Zakk wants to help as many people as possible in BJJ and the veteran community. This episode could have quickly gone on for hours if time was not a constraint.

Dr. Neil Morris is a naturopathic medical doctor practicing in Mesa, AZ, and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blue belt. He graduated from Troy University with a bachelor’s in Nursing and practiced as a registered nurse before graduating from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine.
This episode will be an eye-opener for many listeners. Dr. Neil discusses hormone therapy, regenerative injections, and even what supplements most practitioners should be taking. After talking with him, we realized that many things are going on with our bodies and what might help us with our recovery, sleep, and other body functions. It is easy to tell that Dr. Neil is incredibly devoted to helping his patients and does not look to take people's money but rather deliver results.

Today, we have Dru Phoenix, a black belt, A and M BJJ owner in South Florida, and Marine Corps, veteran. One of the first things you notice about Dru is his glowing personality. We found Dru through his Instagram reels, and he had us laughing from the first one.
Dru's BJJ journey started after he separated from active duty. When he was first exposed to the UFC and Jiu-Jitsu, Dru said he did not like it and thought it was stupid. After his first time trying it, though, he was hooked like all of us.
We discuss the benefits that BJJ brings to the veteran's community through commodore, purpose, and the therapeutic side of training. Leaving the service can cause confusion, depression, and anger but the people and community found in martial arts can help you overcome them.

Today we have the incredible opportunity to sit down with Steve Kwan, a BJJ black belt and host of BJJ Mental Models. Steve feels almost like a unicorn in the BJJ community. He has never competed or even had the desire to do so. He established himself as a pure hobbyist from the time he started training. He has accomplished many goals in the community and seems dedicated to providing as much value to the art and those seeking knowledge as he can.
Steve puts it very simply "it must be fun" when it comes to training. Many new practitioners starting in the gentle art think they have to compete. This sometimes can develop an unhealthy relationship with BJJ and can lead down a path of giving up on the martial art.
If you are not having fun, then what is the point?
It is easy to tell from the moment Steve starts answering questions that he thinks of jiu-jitsu in a much more intellectual way. Every answer goes in great detail beyond what we and many others would think was possible.

Today we have the pleasure of sitting down with the biggest competitor of our show. Matt Gillette has earned over an incredible 30+ medals in IBJJF, including most recently winning Gold at Master North America. He is a first-degree black belt under Andre Maracaba in Arizona.
Matt started BJJ because one of his friends in the Marine Corps came home and showed him some of the moves he learned in MCMAP (Marine Crop Martial Arts Program) and was hooked after being constantly submitted. One of the first attributes we noticed was his sense of humor when talking with Matt. He comes off very light-hearted and makes the whole interview much more effortless.
Through Matthew's journey, he has developed firm opinions about specific topics. He is open with his distaste for point fighters, blue belts quitting, and McDojos. Some might find Matt a little rough around the edges because of his opinions, but those people are probably the ones who stop after getting their blue belts.

Today we have the great pleasure of sitting down and chatting with Jordan Preisinger from the incredible YouTube channel "JordanTeachesJiuJitsu."
This conversation goes into a philosophical journey of discussing motivation, teaching yourself, learning, and why you should continue to train. Jordan offers a somewhat unique perspective on each of these topics because of his upbringing through the gentle art. Before even starting BJJ, Jordan knew he would be one of the bests.
Even though Jordan was relatively new to jiu-jitsu, he didn't let it stop him from accomplishing his goals. He received some backlash for opening an academy at such a junior belt, but he was confident in his skill and determination to turn it into something spectacular. As a blue belt, Jordan opened his academy and started teaching.
Jordan accredits his skill and journey to being almost entirely self-taught. He learned through YouTube and other alternative recourse rather than a traditional Professor student relationship. He is a big believer in feeding that hunger to learn with whatever you need. He encourages his students to learn as much from other sources.
This was an exciting conversation from start to finish. Jordan is a confident person, and you can tell he puts his mind to whatever he does. His YouTube channel has grown exponentially in only eight months (at the time of this recording). His academy is very successful, and he has an upcoming BJJFanatics instructional in the works.

Today, we sit down and have an epic conversation with Matt Wahlstrom, Epic Roll BJJ CEO and brown belt. Matt did Taekwondo as a child and found himself wanting more. He started training jiu-jitsu in 2005 because he wanted to compete in MMA.
Matt talks about wanting to compete in MMA not because he wanted a career or to become professional but instead just to test himself. Like many of us, Matt fell in love with BJJ from the start. He mentions the feeling of being controlled when first starting to train spike curiosity in him. He wanted to know how a smaller person neutralizes larger opponents so quickly. Matt says it felt like a superpower and tried to gain it himself.
Matt founded Epic Roll BJJ originally as a kind of BJJ Fanatics style website but found his graphic design and marketing skills more useful in the appeal industry. The company first started as just dropshipping t-shirts and morphed into everything BJJ-related due to the demand.
Matt is an incredible person to talk to. After our conversation, it is hard to put into words the feeling. It was not a feeling of enlightenment, even though we did learn a lot. But, instead, the feeling of Matt is someone you should know. His charismatic personality, easy-going energy, and down-to-earth attitude flow from him in epic proportions. It is rare to meet people with such qualities and still be as humble as Matt is. It was a true pleasure having a conversation with him.

Today we have the distinct pleasuring of talking with James O'Connor. James is a Third Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a Black Belt in Taekwondo. He has been training in martial arts for almost 30 years and started when he was an out-of-shape kid picked on.
James dedicates an immense amount of his time, teaching, producing content, and helping kids. His range doesn't always revolve around martial arts. He writes motivational blogs and short copyright for everyday life too. His mantra of "#KeepMovingFoward" speaks to a broader audience outside of martial arts. He wants everyone to be motivated and to grow every day possible.
James recently wrote an article about "Celebrating the Almost." New and experienced practitioners can easily overlook this concept in every art. As students, we should set two types of goals. Micro and Macro. Having a macro goal like earning the next belt or winning a competition is crucial, but we need small victories. James explains that we should celebrate small successes like not getting tapped by your professor, not getting caught in an inferior position, or even almost catching your instructor. All too often, we will feel as if we are plateauing because we haven't reached our big goals when really we could be crushing micro-goals.
Remember to celebrate those small wins because one day they will stack up into larger victories and "Keep Moving Forward."

Jordan Rabé trains at Autore Jiu-Jitsu and received his purple belt from André Galvão before moving to Los Angles. Jordan recently took third place at Masters Worlds in the Flyweight division.
Jordan started wrestling in high school because he saw it was the best thing to translate into MMA. After high school, Jordan would go to college and wrestle for a short time before finding BJJ.
As a white belt, Jordan admits that he had the typical wrestling midset of 110% in practice. After a couple of months of training, Jordan competed in his first competition has been steadily competing ever since.
When Jordan first started competing, he admits he would try to find any reason not to compete. He would get into his head and cast a shadow over his potential. After years of working on his mental health through yoga, marijuana, and being more spiritual, he became more confident in his abilities.
Jordan is a very relaxed and down-to-earth person, but you couldn't tell if all you saw was his highlight reels on social media. The explosiveness he gained from wrestling is visible in how he moves, attacks, and counters his opponents.
Jordan gives excellent advice on competing, cutting weight, if you should or should not cut weight, mindset, perspective on his role as a purple belt, and much more. Jordan's whole persona drives home his advice to white belts of "have fun." If you aren't having fun, then why do the gentle art?

Thomas Rozdzynski is a third-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a black belt in Judo, he owns the ROL Academy, and is the host of The ROL Radio podcast.
Thomas started his BJJ journey in the early 2000s when his boss, a blue belt, kept bugging him every day to join the academy. Thomas's first school was under the legendary Grandmaster Carlson Gracie Sr.
When first starting in jiu-jitsu, Thomas was told multiple times that he would never be a black belt. Multiple people told him it was because he was not tough enough, flexible enough, or skilled enough to obtain such a prestigious award. Thomas would eventually earn his blue belt under Grandmaster Carlson Sr. right before his passing.
Thomas speaks highly of the life-changing events that came from starting jiu-jitsu. He lost 70 pounds, became more confident, and now is a third-degree blackbelt despite those early in his journey telling him it wouldn't happen.
Thomas is a wealth of knowledge and makes you stop and think about viewing your journey. His insight into belt promotions, how to promote, what your belt means, and mindset still has us contemplating ways to improve our own midset.
Anyone at any skill/belt level will find value in what Thomas shares in this episode, especially if you are starting your journey.

Adolfo hosts Forever White Belt's trailblazing podcastand a two-stripe blue belt under Tryfon Stathopoulos at North Bay Jiu-Jitsu.
Adolfo's story is incredibly relatable to many practitioners. His journey began in his early 40s, but he had to take a 4-year hiatus due to some serious medical problems. Finally, after recovering and feel up to the tasks again, Adolfo started looking for another academy to train at.
Like many of our stories, Adolfo found himself "doing drive-bys past academies" with his toes hanging over the edge of jumping back into the cosmos of jiu-jitsu. He would finally leap of faith and stopped procrastinating when a school was located within a few minutes from his work.
Adolfo is very open and vulnerable about his struggles with self-doubt, difficulties learning and retaining information, and not being "that guy" in class asking too many questions. He puts it all out there for people to relate and find common ground in their journies to his.

Rick Ellis is the 7th black belt under Roy Dean. His jiu-jitsu journey started when he was 41 years old in an old Taekwondo dojo where the mats were never cleaned.
Rick joined Roy Dean's academy after the doors first opened. He fell in love with Mr. Dean's coaching style, personality, and the art of jiu-jitsu. Rick always knew he was going to be a black belt. His original goal was to receive his black belt by the time he turned 50, but unfortunately, injuries and moving around cause the process to take a little longer.
When talking to Rick, you can tell he is a very analytical thinker. Each time he answers a question, there is a pause as if he is trying to solve an algebraic equation with no scratch paper. It is honestly refreshing talking with a person who sits and thinks about each word before answering. You truly get a sense of authenticity and genuine desire to ensure the answer is exactly what he wants to say, no fluff.
Rick is an inspiration to all those practitioners who maybe started late in life, battled a few injuries, and even thought about quitting. His interview offers good laughs, inspirational ideas and philosophies, and all-around good vibes.

Katie Egan is a Brown belt under James "300" Foster in Kent, WA. She started her BJJ journey in 2014 after trying what she thought would be a kickboxing class but really was just shadowboxing and cardio. Before leaving the gym, she noticed the Jiu-Jitsu class and saw people trying to choke each other. Katie came back the next day and was instantly hooked after her first class.
Three months after starting, Katie joined her first competition. Almost everyone in her school told her that competing will be great but expect to lose her first competition. After she won her first match, she was dead set on winning the whole comp and did.
Katie is a huge advocate for bringing women into BJJ. She runs the "Women Who Roll" blog and constantly speaks of representing all women in the sport. When asked how do we bring more women into BJJ, she says, "by creating a safe environment where women feel welcomed and have the opportunity to grow."
I recently read a Facebook post by another organization using BJJ to help women, and it said something similar to, "If you want to see what your gym culture is like, look how many women are in your class."
Katie is doing amazing things for women in Jiu-Jitsu, and it is always inspiring talking to someone so dedicated and driven with their goals and helping others. Be sure to follow Katie on all her social media.

The guys sit down with Craig Hanaumi, a police officer and purple belt in BJJ. Craig has been a police officer for 15 years and a BJJ practitioner for 12. He got a taste of jiu-jitsu in his home state of Hawaii when he was in his early 20's.
Craig's first experience with jiu-jitsu was similar to most of ours; he got stuck in a person's guard for five minutes and had no real idea of what he was supposed to do. After the five minutes, Craig said he felt like it was a victory at first but then quickly realized he didn't really do anything. Also, it didn't help that the person who held him in their guard was a teenage kid.
After working at Bellevue Police Department, Craig gained notice from the local community for his outreach. He uses his skateboarding and jiu-jitsu background to connect with the community he polices. He takes great pride in showing people that what they see on the news is not the only side of policing.
Craig has an infectious personality and really brings a lot of joy to this interview. Hearing how he praises his parents and their "Aloha Spirit" for his actions today is refreshing and something we all could use a little more of in our day.

Nathan Orchard is a 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Eddy Bravo. He started his grappling journey through wrestling for 11 years before transitioning over to MMA. As a professional MMA fighter, Nathan had 21 fights before retiring. For his first 10 pro fights, Nathan had no formal training in martial arts. After losing close fights to either better wrestlers or strikers, he said he decided to take his training more seriously and find some coaching.
Before recording the podcast, Nathan hosted a seminar centered around the basics of leg lock entries. During his instruction, Nathan talks philosophically about positions, movement, and how everything ties back into BJJ. He preaches that movement is movement, and the only thing that changes the movement is the application.
Nathan's journey through BJJ is not like many others. Because of that, his story is captivating and inspiring to anyone who trains alone or who is insecure about their abilities. His mindset towards being a BJJ practitioner is; Think Street, Train Sport, and Practice Art.
Be sure to grab a pencil and some paper because Nathan's conversation is one you will want to come back to over and over again.

Today's interview is with the incredible Roy Dean. Professor Roy Dean is a third-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, under Professor Roy Harris and Seibukan Jujutsu, with additional black belts in Kodokan Judo and Aikikai Aikido. He is the author of two books, Becoming the Black Belt A BJJ Journey and The Martial Apprentice: A Japanese Jujutsu Adventure, which are both must-reads for any martial artist.
Mr. Roy Dean started his martial arts journey as a 16-year-old boy living in Japan as a foreign exchange student. He was told that he needed to pick up a traditional Japanese hobby and pursue Kodokan Judo. From there, he fell in love with multiple martial arts. Ultimately he found BJJ in his early 20's and was hooked.
Mr. Roy Dean is probably most known for his high-quality video content on his YouTube page and his RoyDean.tv. He looks to be a storyteller with all of his content instead of just talking head with technique. His belt demonstration starts with a beautiful symphony of technical knowledge into rounds of sparing, starting with lower belts as the tester slowly works up the ladder of difficulty until they finally reach Mr. Dean himself for their final test before earning their new rank.
Even with what fame and acknowledgment he has earned worldwide, Mr. Dean is extremely humble and wants to give as much as he can back to the Jiu-Jitsu community as possible. His wealth of knowledge, humility, personality and content search for improvement flows from him with every question answered.
We can not thank Mr. Roy Dean enough for giving us his time and the opportunity to pick his brain about various topics. We hope you gain as much out of this interview as we did. Enjoy and see you guys in the next one!

Jon and Travis sit down and talk with Juggernaut Training Systems owner and BJJ Blue Belt Chad Wesley Smith. Chad has been competing in many sports at a high level since he was in High School. He has thrown an Olympic standard in the Shot Put, achieved the 9th highest total in powerlifting raw, and became a professional Strongman while still coaching strength and conditioning for all levels of sports.
Even over a zoom call, the atmosphere was infectious. All three guys seemingly having a small on their faces the whole time. Chad is a big man with a bigger-than-life personality. His wealth of knowledge flows out effortlessly as he answers each question with great detail, leaving almost no stone unturned. Even with such awe-inspiring answers, Chad mentions that he has a YouTube video for everything that goes into even more detail than offered on this show.
Chad's knowledge did not come to him overnight. It was gained from years of hard work and having an attitude that was hungry for information. This is definitely an interview where you might want to sit down with pen and paper while intermittently pausing to take some notes later.

Jason Khalipa talks about strength training for BJJ, what this training has been looking like recently, his very successful business NCFit, his AMRAP mentality, how it translates into his everyday life, and much more. Talking with Jason was a real pleasure, with many good laughs and keynotes to walk away with. His perspective on life, family, fatherhood, and training is very refreshing, especially with everything in the world.
