Today, we are thrilled to have a special guest on the show, Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt extraordinaire, Emil Fischer, hailing from Cleveland, OH, and representing Strong Style MMA. Emil is a practitioner who often finds himself at the crossroads of professionalism and an active Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle. In my opinion, he is also one of the most misunderstood figures in the community. Some of my favorite aspects of Emil are that he is intelligent, effective, and irreverent, I think it is this mixture that makes those with overdeveloped egos uncomfortable. Emil's walkouts in Jiu-Jitsu competitions are, without a doubt, the stuff of legend—don't take my word for it, go and search for yourself. In this episode, we delve into Emil's early days, exploring why he initially faced challenges at white belt like being asked to leave a couple of academies. We'll unravel the confusion surrounding Emil's academy affiliation, touch on his contributions to Jiu-Jitsu Times, explore his unique Burt Reynolds guard instructional, and connect the dots between him and notable figures like Meerkatsu, Stipe Miocic, Dante Leon, and much more. It's a fascinating discussion, and I empathized with and genuinely liked Emil. Remember to show your support by liking, sharing, and subscribing.

Today on the show I have the honor of speaking to the no gi Jiu Jitsu phenom William Tackett. William is a 21 year old Black Belt under Rodrigo Cabral where he teaches and trains at Brazilian Fight Factory in Austin, TX. William has competed against the best BJJ athletes in the world, racking up wins against Andrew Wiltse, Tex Johnson, John Combs, Rousimar Palhares, Dante Leon, and many more. He recently took gold at what was arguably the toughest and greatest ADCC Trails to date, an incredible feat. William and the Tackett brothers are part of this new breed of young Jiu Jitsu practitioners who were raised with a dearth of modern Jiu Jitsu data, full time practice, and most importantly incredibly deep assimilation of the art. An amazing thing about William is that he is just getting better and better. In the episode, we talk about his unique upbringing which contributed to his success, his ideas on recovery, and training specifics.

Please about how you were first introduced to wresttlng? Q2: I've heard Bellator treats their fighters great. Corey Anderson said he got paid much better in Bellator. Why wouldn't the UFC do that? Q3: Bellator was Strikeforce 2.0, basically? I thought Scott Coker had just switched roles; but it turns out he just bought out Bellator? Q4: When did you first get into MMA? Do you remember a specific moment either through watching a fight or training with friends that you decided to pursue fighting?

Was the tear so bad they couldn't save any of it? Q13: How did the opportunity to coach wrestling at Mt Vernon Township HS come about & how's it been going? Q14: Do you think your knee injury has contributed to your success as a coach?
