The Grappling Central Podcast: The biggest names in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), MMA and Grappling
Bernardo Faria joins the show to talk about managing training expectations, growing an academy, the fact that everyone thinks their BJJ sucks and balancing life with training. He also gives technical insight to the Over Under Pass and pressure passing!
Today on the show we are in conversation with Lucas Lepri Black Belt and multiple-time champion Giancarlo Bodoni. Giancarlo also worked extensively with Rillion Gracie. Giancarlo earned his reputation as one of the sport's top athletes after his performances in the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) World Championships and Pan American Championships as a brown belt, a level of excellence he continues to this day. As well as actively competing you may have seen him serve as uke on some of John Danaher's BJJ Fanatics instructionals, Giancarlo is also an instructor at Bernardo Faria's academy and has several instructionals of his own that you should check out also at BJJ Fanatics as well as his great YouTube page. Giancarlo's passion for the "fundamentals" or as I like to call them, the foundations of Jiu Jitsu is a consistent theme I'm hearing amongst the elite practitioners I have the honor of speaking with. Innovation is a wonderful thing but innovation without foundation is without substance. Giancarlo is a class act, I very much enjoyed our conversation, and I hope to have him back on the show soon.

As a true martial artist, Shintaro has never shied away from other martial arts, especially Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He's been at the center of the New York BJJ scene, training with the likes of the Gracies, John Danaher, Bernardo Faria, Brian Glick and many others. In this episode, Shintaro talks about how he started BJJ as a Judoka, and the impact his BJJ journey had on his life.
Aaron Benzrihem is Bernardo Faria's first Black Belt, having earned his previous brown belt from Alliance Marcelo Garcia Association. Aaron is a multiple time Fight To Win Pro Veteran and Winner, Multiple Time IBJJF Medalist and has competed in several tournaments winning and making the podium in almost all of them. He has a fantastic YouTube channel teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and it is clear he is driven by a passion to spread the art that helped shape his life. He is a young and ambitious entrepreneur and newlywed who has practiced several other martial arts including Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, Boxing, and Wrestling. He was an instructor at The Bernardo Faria Academy, he is also the first employee hired by BJJ Fanatics where his role as Senior Product Manager keeps him busy at present. This is one of those rare young (27 as of this recording) up and coming instructors that I akin to a fantastic growth stock opportunity. Meaning if I could put money on him to compound in value I would. Once you see Aaron's YouTube channel you will see why, he has an approachable yet, highly technical, yet easily digestible way to teaching BJJ which checks all those boxes which is a rarity for someone with so much runway left. I can see why Bernardo Faria decided to not only coach and mentor him but to award Aaron as his very first black belt, what a tremendous honor. Aaron is refreshingly candid, surprisingly self aware, an absolute gentleman, and a class act. Make sure to check out his two instructional's on The Leg Drag and The Half Butterfly on BJJ Fanatics and make sure to check out his amazing YouTube channel with over a years worth of highly produced content, it's quality stuff. Also, check out Aaron and his wife Bruna's dog training company Rise K9 Dog Training that not only does all sorts of dog training but also trains worst case scenario dogs on their last strike it's amazing stuff. https://risek9training.com/. Some housekeeping notes, we recorded this before the infamous Gordon Ryan and Andre Galvao slap heard round the world so it's almost spooky how Aaron mentions this "beef".

As a kid Gianni Grippo had tremendous support from his parents. Support that gave him the opportunity to train at one of the most prestigious BJJ academies in New York City. There he was able to take private lessons and train with some of the biggest names in Jiu Jitsu.However as a young adult he began to feel his goals were not being supported in the way he needed and Gianni made the controversial decision to switch academies.Moving just a few blocks away to another prestigious but competing academy, Gianni continued to train with some of the most respected BJJ Black Belts in the world. But in doing so he faced severe backlash.Listen as Gianni talks about his amazing family, the incredible dedication it took to become one of the best in the world, and his decision to switch academies.

BjjBrick Podcast- BJJ, Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, martial arts, no-gi and good times!
This week we have a HUGE episode. We take six well known and respected black belts and ask them all the same five questions about blue belts. There are some similarities and differences within these interviews but the amount of jiu-jitsu wisdom about blue belts in this episode is amazing. The five questions we asked to the six black belt guests Do you have requirements for a blue belt? What are they? How important is it for students to be able to "defend" their belt? How many intangibles (good teammate, good effort, helps others) come into play when promoting someone to blue belt? Do you ever regret giving someone a blue belt? What advice to you have for the new blue belt? Tim Sledd 24m 25s Tim explains some of the techniques he requires for a student to know before receiving a blue belt. Tim talks about why some students get tapped by lower belts and if it is a big deal. Why he looks at character of a student not just technique, and how this can hold someone back. Why he has no regrets of any belts he has given out. Advice for the new blue belt. Matt Thornton 58m 30s How he evaluates blue belts based on performance, and not looking at particular techniques. Why it is important for your first blue belts to be very good at a school. The importance of having good people on the mat. Why he is confident in all his blue belt students. Why it is important to relax and work on open guard as a blue belt. Bernardo Faria 1h 17m 30s Bernardo talks about Fabio Gurgel's system to get a blue belt a student must attend 120 classes. The idea of not tapping to a lower belt is an old mentality. Having a bad attitude will hold students back. Not having an actual belt test, and not regretting giving someone a blue belt. Keep your ego low, and work on learning jiu-jitsu. Daniel Covel 1h 25m 05s His minimum requirements of techniques for a blue belt. The responsibilities of the instructor to the students. The importance of learning from your mistakes, and making adjustments. Why it is important to have good people and teammates on the mat. He has no regrets about any of his past blue belts. It is important to recognise the hard work on the mats. Henry Akins 1h 42m 50s Understanding the basic positions and a handful of basic submissions. Why some upper belts get caught by lower belts. Why it is important for a blue belt to be a good training partner. Why getting tapped out is part of the learning process Why blue belts should work hard to develop a strong base. John Will 1h 59m 30s Why he likes having requirements for blue belts but not so many for other belts. It is rare for a colored belt to get tapped by a lower belt, but it is no big deal. Why the culture of the gym is so important. The concept of a ox neck and rat's head. It is often normal to feel like you don't deserve a new belt Ask five simple questions for every technique you learn to learn more details.

UFC 185: Anthony Pettis vs. Rafael dos Anjos results are in and there's a new lightweight champion. Joanna Jedrzejczyk also defeated Carla Esparza to become the new women's strawweight champion at the event and fighters like Johny Hendricks, Alistair Overeem and Henry Cejudo emerged victorious. At the IBJJF Pan-Ams, Bernardo Faria and Dillon Danis got double gold, but names like Keenan Cornelius and Bruno Malficine shined. Last, but certainly not least, Andre Berto got a strong win over Josesito Lopez on Spike's debut episode of Premier Boxing Champions.
