This is the episode nobody else had the guts to make.Have you ever wondered, "what are the HOTTEST women's BJJ Hot takes?" You'll never need to wonder again...We're talking about everything people whisper about on the mats but never say out loud:
In this week's mini-episode, we discuss how the torso and levers become points of control. With torso control, we clamp or hook onto our opponent's torso so we can hold them in position or rotate around them. With lever control, we use our opponent's arms, legs, and/or head to create leverage. Attacking a single lever usually affords more force, whereas attacking multiple levers simultaneously usually affords more control.

Let's challenge some stereotypes by dissecting this "10 Harsh Masculine Truths" post and reframing toxic masculinity as an issue of individual character. Through stoic principles, we emphasize humility, resilience, and genuine strength over cynicism or bravado. Shifting to the life in the Dojo, we explore the true meaning of earning a Blackbelt, not as an end goal but as the beginning of lifelong learning, teaching, and humility. We discuss aging as a martial artist and the importance of inclusivity and respect within the community. Finally, we unpack emotional authenticity in men, using the “crayon box” metaphor to encourage a broader range of expression, touching on gaming, comics, and other outlets that reveal how growth and effort define real strength.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:04) - Unpacking Masculine Truths and Toxicity(0:21:33) - Exploring the Meaning of Black Belts(0:35:11) - Defining Masculinity Through Warrior Image(0:53:06) - Navigating Performative Masculinity Challenges(0:58:13) - Navigating Male Coping Mechanisms and EgoSend us a text
It was an honor to sit down with Professor Mark Bradford from Legacy West Adams — a true mentor, teacher, and leader who has impacted so many of our students and black belts across Los Angeles and beyond.Professor Mark began training with me over 25 years ago in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and his story is one of courage, sacrifice, and passion. Many don't know that he worked for the government for years before cashing in his retirement to dedicate his life fully to Jiu-Jitsu — to teaching, training, and helping others grow.I'm truly grateful for his friendship, loyalty, and all he's done to help build Legacy into what it is today.
Today's conversation is with Taylor McDonald, property investor, deal sourcer, and founder of 1st Seed Property.Taylor's story is one of grit, growth, and relentless self-development. From being kicked out of home at 17 to running one of Scotland's most active sourcing businesses and building a property portfolio that now includes developments like Grey Harlings Hotel beside the fifth oldest golf course in the world, his rise has been anything but conventional.In this conversation, we connect the dots from his early setbacks to his current success while unpacking the mindset, structure, and strategy behind scaling in property and business.Expect to learn:How being kicked out at 17 shaped Taylor's drive and identityWhy it took until 21 for him to “knuckle down” and focusWhat first drew him to property and how he found his lane in a noisy industryThe lessons learned from working as a chef and growing up around his dad's landscaping businessHow mentorship and education through Paul McFadden's Protégé programme transformed his approachThe journey of starting, scaling, and selling his first business and why “profit is sanity, revenue is vanity”The biggest challenge or deal that burned him and how he respondedWhat it takes to balance being both an investor and a sourcing business ownerHow to identify the right joint venture and private finance partnersThe confidence and vision behind the Grey Harlings hotel redevelopment in MontroseWhy structure, discipline, and routine are non-negotiable in his lifeThe role Jiu Jitsu plays in shaping mindset, humility, and consistencyWhat the next 5 years look like for 1st Seed Property and Taylor's wider investment journeyToday's episode is optimised by Puresport.

If you've never seen G.I. Jane, you might know it as a punchline, an epithet, or shorthand for a certain kind of movie -- or a certain kind of woman. But watching G.I. Jane in 2025, you see a portrait of fierce tenacity and genuine strength, all baked into a Ridley Scott action war drama. Actor Katy O'Brian -- who is absolutely on fire right now, and the list of things you'd know her from grows ever longer -- saw in Demi Moore's character, Jordan, a rare glimpse of something she recognized in herself. She's a character who pulls no punches, deserves her place among the boys, and commands respect just by being true to her goals and skills. She and Jordan get into all that, plus some of Katy's recent work, especially Maintenance Required and Queens of the Dead.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a new Tubi original from Danishka Esterhazy, MATCH. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

This week on Warriors Unmasked, Julio Angel Rivera, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo and Japanese Jiu Jitsu black belt, World Master Champion, author, and founder of Internal Jiu Jitsu, shares his incredible journey from witnessing trauma as a child to building a life of healing, mindfulness, and purpose. At eight years old, Julio witnessed a murder that changed his life forever. What followed were decades of suppressed pain, anger, and depression, until he found his path through therapy, writing, bodybuilding, and the discipline of martial arts. Through his philosophy of Internal Jiu Jitsu, Julio shows how we can channel resistance into growth and find peace in the midst of chaos. You'll hear about: How a childhood trauma shaped Julio's mental health journey The healing power of movement, writing, and community Why facing pain requires faith, and why asking for help is the first step to strength The connection between martial arts and mindfulness and how stillness can quiet a racing mind Julio's two books (Broke Down Sensei and Internal Jiu Jitsu) and his mission to empower others through mental health awareness Whether you're fighting battles on the mat or in your mind, Julio's story is a powerful reminder that healing takes courage, community, and the willingness to “just give it another day.” Chapters: 00:00 – Intro: From Trauma to Triumph 02:15 – Growing Up in the Bronx: The Early Years 05:45 – Addiction, Incarceration & Military Life 09:30 – Finding Recovery Through Peer Support 13:10 – The Power of Storytelling in Mental Health 16:20 – Building Mental Health First Aid USA 20:00 – National Advocacy and White House Influence 23:30 – Challenges of Behavioral Health Policy 27:15 – Leading with Lived Experience 30:00 – Faith, Leadership, and Family 34:15 – Julio's Advice to Aspiring Changemakers 37:20 – Chuck's Challenge: Reclaiming Your Power Through Service Chuck's Challenge: When life feels too heavy, pause and breathe.

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss the “Golden Rule” of competition.
