We welcome our friend Joe Campisi aka "Benny Tutto" to the show. Joe Campisi is a BJJ Black Belt with 20 years of experience and one of the head instructors at Pure MMA. If you train at Pure, you know that Joe is extremely disciplined and a student of the game, however he was not always this way. After his father's passing at 12-years old, Joe went down a tough path, which saw him angry, getting into fights, and hanging with the wrong crew. This changed thanks to a mushroom trip which showed Joe how his actions were hurting others. Afterward, Joe found BJJ and fell in love with it so much that it became his life. Today, Joe enjoys transferring is knowledge and experience to his students, however he maintains that to succeed in martial arts, it takes a village.

As we all know, the sport of BJJ is always changing and evolving. Every competition is another opportunity to unleash a new move or attack, and the natural response that follows is, "How do we learn said attack and develop a solution for it?" I talk about trends in the sport, both old and new, kids' BJJ, and staying ahead of the curve. I also discuss my most recent competition (Grappling Industries Vancouver) and some other current issues, such as Derek Moneyberg, Tim Kennedy's stolen valor, Ben Askren, Randy Couture, and antifascist freedom fighters, in the comments section. Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.

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.

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.
