In dieser Folge unterhalte ich mich mit Paul Pietsch. Er ist Österreichs jüngster Schwarzgurt im Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu und Gründer der Modern Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Wien, wo er unter anderem auch mich trainiert. Wir sprechen über BJJ als Selbstverteidigung, aber auch als Form der Selbstverwirklichung – darüber was man daraus für seinen Lebensalltag und die Selbstständigkeit mitnehmen kann und plaudern über seine Zeit in Brasilien und den USA, wo er von den ganz Großen im BJJ lernen konnte. Was macht das mit einem wenn man sich freiwillig in potenziell lebensbedrohliche Situationen begibt, lernt darin Ruhe zu bewahren und sich kontrolliert daraus zu befreien? Und zu guter Letzt möchte ich von Paul wissen, was er dafür tut um in den Flow State zu kommen und wie man einen Zen Moment erleben kann während jemand einem wortwörtlich an die Gurgel geht.
