He has worked with notable celebrities such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jessica Alba, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. We discuss street fight stories, the early days of training and competing in MMA, competing in the first ever ADCC World Championship, and his career as an actor. Lance has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the martial arts and acting worlds, and it was incredible to talk to him about those experiences.

Owning and operating a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school is both a labour of love and a huge responsibility. Speaking from 10 years of experience running my own academy, I talk about the biggest myths that I heard surrounding gym ownership. Some topics of discussion are kids programs, building customer loyalty (the right way), ordering gear overseas, building profit, and big name affiliations. Maybe this episode turned into a bit of a venting session, but I think you will find it interesting nonetheless. Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.

The Anaconda is easily one of the most effective front headlock submissions one can learn. This attack is a very high percentage and works well with the other premier front headlock submissions. I talk about entries, finishing mechanics, common problems and solutions, and blending the Anaconda with other headlocks. Nobody's front headlock game is complete without the Anaconda, so get practicing!

Paul Kindzia describes himself as a "homeschooled, non-denominational, it takes a village black belt" and had a very unique route to getting his BJJ black belt.  He was a ronin, training at different schools and did a lot of his training in his home dojo. This paid off because he was a top IBJJF Masters competitor at blue, purple, and brown belt, before being awarded his black belt by a coalition of other black belts (myself included) in October of 2024. In this episode we talk about so many things, including - How to get really good if you don't train at a top-tier school - Key aspects of training safely - How to say no to training with people who don't have your best interests at heart - What you need to do to calibrate your skills if you mainly train one-on-one - Cult-like dynamics at some BJJ schools - What professional BJJ competitors do that sets them apart - How to get promoted if you train independently - How jiu-jitsu training has changed in the last 10 years - And so much more. For more about Paul's jiu-jitsu journey check out his site, The Balanced Grappler (https://www.thebalancedgrappler.com/) and his book, Master Jiu-Jitsu, Master Life (https://www.amazon.com/Master-Jiu-Jitsu-Life-Extraordinary-Through/dp/069216197X) Please give this episode a thumbs up and share it with someone else you think might enjoy it.
