Greetings, all. This week on the podcast, I sit down with BJJ purple belt, John Ramos, to hear how his journey into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu began with a Google search about Married with Children star Ed O'Neill and led him from Florida International University to Carlos Gracie Miami and eventually to Crazy 88 MMA. John reflects on his early days as a white belt competitor, the importance of training safely, and how the world of BJJ intersects with his experiences in the military. He opens up about the emotional challenges of transitioning between gyms and how the mats became a lifeline during tough moments in his personal life. John also shares what he looks for in a new training environment and offers valuable advice for fellow service members who might feel hesitant to try BJJ. We close out the episode with a fun round of rapid-fire questions to get to know him even better—on and off the mats.   We want to shout out @johnsfitmeals Head over and use promo code Mahoney10, and you'll get 10% off.   Thank you, again, to everyone for listening to and supporting the podcast up to this point.

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.

Welcome back, friends. This week on the podcast, I sit down with Ben Kovacs, co-founder of Guardian Gym, a nonprofit martial arts academy with locations in Los Angeles, Baltimore, Ethiopia, and more, with a mission to empower youth through free access to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and mentorship. Ben shares the personal experiences that ignited his passion for community work and the story behind the gym's inception. From securing funding for their first location to building a culture rooted in connection rather than competition, Ben walks us through how Guardian Gym challenges the stereotypes surrounding combat sports. We explore the emotional, psychological, and social benefits that martial arts can offer, especially for at-risk youth, and discuss why BJJ is far more than a sport—it's a transformative tool for growth, self-respect, and community healing.

If someone tells you to stop using/drilling a move because "it's a low percentage move", what do you do? Is tradition a thing of the past in BJJ? Sure, some of us only do nogi and like to get in and get out, but what about the culture that jiu jitsu was built on?

Why Surrender Is Still the Only EndgameThere's a brutal truth people forget when they throw around words like genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing. Those words do mean something — but they lose meaning when they're wielded like hashtags during an ongoing shooting war. Once you're in the fight, the moral shield only works when you put the knife down.War is chess with live ammunition. You have pieces, you have power, you have moves that escalate. The moment you advance a pawn, you've agreed to the possibility it will be taken. The moment you swing a punch, the counterpunch is fair game. That's not moral or legal — it's the physics of force.In chess, resignation is civilized. You see you're outflanked; you tip your king. Good game. In wrestling or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you tap out before your arm snaps or your windpipe closes. It's the grown-up way to say: I know I'm beaten. I'll take my lumps now, live to fight again.But modern states — Ukraine, Hamas, proxies everywhere — think they can bend this rule. They escalate, they provoke, they swing, and when the bigger bear or the muzzled wolf responds, they shout unfair. They wrap themselves in the flag of victimhood, hoping a hashtag will do what the rifle couldn't.It doesn't work that way. The bear — Russia — spent 30 years tolerating the cheese wire of NATO expansion, buffer states lost, missile silos inching closer. It murmured the same line: Don't take Ukraine. That's the red line. When the noose was almost tight, the bear lunged. Inevitable. Ugly. Not nice, but predictable to anyone who reads the chessboard.Israel — same logic. It wore the moral muzzle for decades, letting the world watch every checkpoint, every stone thrown. It let itself be painted as Goliath while expanding settlements inch by inch. But the rules of engagement were always simple: Respond only to lethal force with lethal force. The moment Hamas paraglided into that festival, the contract flipped. The wolf took off the muzzle, and now the panopticon watches the claws do what they were always ready to do.Meanwhile, these players made themselves indispensable. Russia didn't just hibernate — it built BRICS into a real counterweight to the dollar bloc, bonded itself to China's energy hunger, and kept India and the Global South just friendly enough to shrug off sanctions. Israel, humiliated daily in the press, quietly fused itself into Western security, tech, and intelligence. You can hate it — but good luck cutting it loose without sawing your own nerves in half.And the backers? Ask any student of revolutions: you don't win without a patron. The US didn't beat Britain on pluck alone — France footed the bill and sailed the fleet. Ukraine survives because NATO bankrolls the fight. But patrons hate throwing good money after bad. The moment the math says you can't win, they count their chips and walk away.The resignation clock. The tap out. The white flag. If you're losing — badly, hopelessly — you accept that you'll probably lose territory, sovereignty, credibility. You might get a Versailles, a new border, a blockade. It's humiliating — but it's survival. You don't get mercy while you're still swinging a hidden knife. You don't get pity from the bear or the wolf until you truly drop the blade and stand down.It's not fair. It's not moral. It's just the savage contract under the chessboard: when the board turns red, you either resign or you bleed out. The rest is propaganda, and the pieces don't care.Cry uncle before your king topples for you. War doesn't end because you lose — it ends when you admit it.So what's left?

I discuss the most important details of the system, half guard fundamentals, how to win the whizzer vs. under hook battle, the dogbar, and shutting down the coyote half guard.

Jeff Patterson has been practicing martial arts for 36 years. He has trained with masters from seven countries and has achieved a black belt equivalency in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Eskrima, Muay Thai, Kenpō, Tai Chi, and Qigong. Patterson believes in the power of meditative arts to enhance life experiences. Why Meditation for Educational Leaders? Educational leaders are in high-stress, high-visibility positions. Meditation can help reduce stress and prevent burnout, enabling leaders to have longevity in their careers. Meditation is practiced by high-performing athletes in other fields, such as boxing and basketball, to improve performance. Jeff Patterson's "Five Regulations" of Meditation: Regulating the body: Paying attention to skeletal alignment, muscle tension, and movement. This includes maintaining muscle structure and flexibility, consuming healthy nutrients, and getting adequate sleep. Regulating the breath: There are hundreds of breathing strategies, which can be categorized as yin (deeper, inward energy) or yang (aggressive, outward energy). Yin breathing involves longer inhales and shorter exhales. Yang breathing may involve tension in the breath and audible exhales. Regulating the mind: Meditation does not require a quiet mind, as distractions are normal. Meditation involves recognizing distractions and using posture, breath, and movement to regain focus. Regulating the energy: Once the body, breath, and mind are regulated, one can learn to direct energy inward, outward, or circulate it to achieve different outcomes in meditation. Regulating the spirit: This is a profound concept toward which meditation masters work their entire lives. Benefits of Meditation: Increased focus and productivity Enhanced emotional regulation Improved communication skills and the ability to "yield" Physical yielding: Getting out of the way of a force to respond with less effort. Requires being well rooted, having a strong and flexible lower body, a relaxed body, calm breath, and a present mind. Mental yielding: Recognizing imbalances in a conversation and adjusting the conversation to lead it to a harmonious place. Emotional yielding: Stepping back from interpersonal conflicts to make a more educated decision. Integrating Meditation into a Busy Schedule: Ritual Practice: A dedicated time, such as 20 minutes per day, to meditate without distractions. Active Practices: Integrating practices throughout the day, even for as little as 60 seconds. Philosophical Practices: Integrating the philosophy of meditation into active and ritual practices. Jeff Patterson's Three Considerations for Starting a Meditation Practice: Motivation: Identify your motivation for wanting to meditate. Consider how your life will change if you accomplish your meditation goals. Consistency: Practice consistently to reap the benefits of meditation. Consistency develops discipline, integrity, and patience. Guidance: Find a guide to save time and improve your practice. Resources: Website: theyieldingwarrior.com Free Book: theyieldingwarrior.com/book Social Media: Search "The Yielding Warrior" on social media channels Call to Action: Consider how meditation could benefit you and commit to practicing it regularly.

Well, hello, again. This week on the podcast, I sit down with grappler Phille Eriksson, whose journey on and off the mats is nothing short of inspiring. After facing severe health challenges that led to an ileostomy, Phille refused to let his circumstances define him—or stop him from returning to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. From his first day on the mats to the emotional rollercoaster of surgery and recovery, Phille shares how he is adapting to life with a stoma and how this will effect his game, modifying his gear, and finding strength in the support of his family and team. Together, we dive deep into the physical and mental toll of living and training with an ostomy, confronting misconceptions and redefining what resilience looks like in the grappling community. Phille opens up about the importance of representation, the role BJJ plays in healing, and how he is working his way back—not just as a grappler, but as a symbol of what's possible. Whether you're a fellow practitioner, someone facing health battles, or simply a fan of stories that challenge limits, this episode is a testament to the power of grit, adaptation, and community.

“Don't take the fight where you're best. Take it where the gap in skill is the greatest.”“There are laws of physics even BJJ cannot overcome.”“Fluid BJJ is a play on words. It's about movement, adaptability, and training every day—especially in the water.”“Before you can be a good teacher or businessman, you must be a good student of martial arts.”Karel “Silver Fox” PravecWelcome to the Black Belt Podcast, I am your host Harinder Singh.  In this powerful episode of the Black Belt Podcast, I sit down with a living legend of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Karel "Silver Fox" Pravec. He is one of the most respected figures in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—A pioneer of BJJ in the United States, Silver Fox has been training with Renzo Gracie since the early 1990s and has spent decades refining a unique and deeply insightful approach to martial arts, training, and life.From his foundational Taekwondo beginnings to his immersive time training in the famed “Blue Basement,” Silver Fox brings unmatched experience and clarity on what it means to be a lifelong martial artist. Known for his calm demeanor, razor-sharp technical insights, and a fluid, pressure-responsive style, Silver Fox is the embodiment of efficiency over force. He is the founder of Silver Fox BJJ Academy in New Jersey, author of the book Fluid BJJ: Scrawny “Middle Aged” Guy's Guide to Getting Submissions, and the creator of a global online presence that includes his Silver Fox BJJ YouTube channel and app.What sets him apart is not just his technical ability, but his deep understanding of how people learn, how the body and mind integrate under pressure, and how to evolve your game without destroying your body. In this conversation, we go beyond technique—we enter the realm of mindset, mastery, energy efficiency, longevity, mentorship, and lifestyle.If you're a martial artist of any kind—whether you train BJJ or not—this episode is a masterclass in learning how to train smart, think clearly, and lead with wisdom.You'll hear battle-tested wisdom, practical advice, and timeless perspective on how to train smart, evolve continuously, and uplift others along the way.

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: June 35, 2025Name of podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS8: E10: Rikki Rockett (Poison) - Greatest Hits and Hardest BattlesSHOW SUMMARY:What happens when death stares you in the face, and you not only survive but thrive? Rikki Rockett, the original drummer of hair metal legends Poison, takes us on an extraordinary journey through his remarkable life both on and off the stage in this candid conversation.  With disarming honesty, Rikki shares the terrifying moment when what seemed like a simple sore throat turned into a stage four cancer diagnosis with just a 10% chance of survival. His miraculous recovery through an innovative immunotherapy clinical trial not only saved his life but also transformed his perspective completely. "You can have 99 problems, but if you have a medical problem, you got one," he reflects, explaining how facing mortality taught him to value time above all else.  Long before his health battle, Rikki's musical journey began in Pennsylvania with a $50 drum set and dreams of rock stardom. He takes us through Poison's early days hustling on the Sunset Strip, revealing the ingenious guerrilla marketing tactics they employed—from personally thanking fans at venue exits to strategically writing about themselves in club bathrooms. These authentic connections helped Poison stand apart in the overcrowded LA scene of the 1980s.  Beyond his rock credentials, Rikki unveils his fascinating life as a fourth-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and paranormal investigator. His approach to urban legends and ghost hunting reflects his thoughtful nature, seeking the historical facts behind myths before exploring any supernatural elements. "I think 98% of it is BS, but that 2% is truly amazing," he explains, showing the same curiosity that's driven his diverse passions.  Looking ahead to Poison's 40th anniversary in 2026, Rikki shares plans for a major tour with all original members intact—a remarkable achievement in the often-fractured world of rock bands. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering his story for the first time, Rikki Rockett's tale of resilience, creativity, and constant reinvention will inspire you to approach life's challenges with both determination and wonder.Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMWWW.SIGNAD.COMWWW.RUNWAYAUDIO.COMBackstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - backstagepassradio.com and randyhulsey.comArtist(s) Web PageInstagram - @rikkirockettFacebook - @thereallrikkirockettYoutube - @theposiondrummerCall to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.
