We plan on interviewing many black belts and talking through their journey. Some topics include:Most memorable roll/competition? Heroin, meth, ice cream is awesome? Favorite submission? Worst injury? How do you tell someone with a stinky gi that they have a stinky gi? Bitcoin…. And much much more. 

After nearly a year since his last appearance, Kurt joins the show to give an update about his health and recovery. Other topics include cheap food hacks. Waterworld apocalypse scenerios. He also gives advice on improving sweeps from guard.

Kurt Osiander joins the show and in typical fashion, the interview goes right off the rails! Topics covered include diabetes, catheter injuries, moms who hate heavy metal, hospital food and an alternate universe where cats own people. Language warning!

Sean Roberts is a 2nd-degree black belt who has been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since 2005, at the young age of 15. Sean first started training at Ralph Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Placentia under black belt Brad Jackson and then black belt Eduardo Fraga. At the time Sean was competing there was very few teens his age to compete against so he was competing against adults in most tournaments and beating them, he's competed in over 200 tournaments. Sean moved to San Francisco in 2009 as a purple belt to train under Ralph Gracie. Sean started training at Ralph Gracie San Francisco under Ralph and black belt Kurt Osiander. It was during that time that Sean was selected to compete in The BJJ Kumite against 12 of the best brown belts from around the world, he came in 2nd place in the gi portion. This was shown as a reality series on YouTube, and Sean became one of the most recognized brown belts in the world. He was given his Black Belt by Ralph Gracie in March of 2013. He moved to Chino Hills to teach in September of 2013. I try to have guests on the show who I personally feel are very important for the art of Jiu Jitsu. Today's guest Sean Roberts is no exception, he is another one of those guys who has managed to avoid the hype train of BJJ personality despite winning droves of tournaments. Why we don't speak of his name more often is really a mystery to me, but I get it, he despises social media and I get the feeling that self promotion is barely on his priority list if at all. Sean was a feared tournament competitor, he is one of the quickest effective decision makers I've witnessed on the mats. It would serve many of us to go back and study his performances, unfortunately for us he recently announced his much deserved retirement from serious competition at the ripe age of 31 to focus on his coaching at his impressive Chino, CA academy Sektor. Fortunately for us, one can go to Sektor to learn from Sean or see his upcoming instructionals on BJJ Fanatics, his debut instructional will be on his invention, The Giggler sweep. Sean provides a ton of great insight on the episode, it was such an honor to have him on.

Preview Jocko Willink, Marcelo Garcia, Kurt Osiander, Joel Greenblatt, Seth Godin, Tim Ferriss, and Sun Tzu are all using the same strategic approach to drive their tactical decision-making. It’s a mental model called “catalysts and derivative decisions.” Let’s get into it. Introduction to the concept Warren Buffett says compounding is the 8th wonder of the world. He’s usually talking about the power of reinvestment. That’s either operating cash flow funding reinvestment in a business and creating more future cash flow—or interest from reinvested interest. But compounding exists outside of business and investing. Its mechanics define and drive viral growth, causing positives like agriculture and negatives like COVID-19. It’s something worth understanding. Either way, when we hear people talking about compounding or virality, they’re usually talking about “growth.” But compounding has another critical application: cascading effects—actions that influence later actions. High performers use compounding to create advantages by focusing on catalysts and ignoring “derivative decisions.” In turned-based, position-based, and time-sensitive strategic applications, it’s critical to get ahead and stay ahead. It’s like the saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Business, sports, combat—and much of life—falls into this bucket. Let’s explore how titans from different verticals leverage this concept. Jocko Willink Jocko Willink is a retired Navy SEAL Commander with 20 years of service experience. Since retiring, he’s focused on building an expansive business empire. Before leaving the Navy, he had already owned real estate properties and an MMA gym. Since then, he has created a blockbuster podcast on leadership, 10 books, a strategy consulting firm, and an All-American manufacturing company whose products run the gamut: jeans, boots, nutrition products, jiu-jitsu gis, and standard apparel. And he’s only been at it for a decade. If you’ve listened to the podcast, you’ll recognize a few omnipresent themes: “default aggressive” and “be first.” Both of these obey the law of “catalysts.” In true combat and in combat sports, this concept is critical. Being first creates a cascade of better opportunities. Two examples jump to mind: ambush situations and the first minutes of an MMA fight. First—let’s talk about an example of being on the wrong end of the rule. If you’re being ambushed, you’re on what Sun Tzu calls “death ground.” Think of a sinking ship or a burning building. The situation is bad, and it gets worse every second. Without even knowing it, you’ve found yourself several unfavorable steps into a decision tree. But things can and will deteriorate if you delay. Combat veterans call the position where the ambush is triggered the “X.” The idea: get off the X! Things have developed against you, but you can still stop your position from becoming even worse. On the other hand, we have the beginning of the fight. “Be first” means take the fight where you want it to go. If you’re a stronger striker, begin to dismantle the opponent with movement and traps. If you’re a stronger grappler, initiate with takedown pressure. Relentlessly force the opponent into worse positions. Even if you’re globally outmatched by the opponent, you can at the very least maneuver to a position you’re familiar with rather than a place of total confusion. Marcelo Garcia Marcelo Garcia uses the same approach when teaching. His lessons often begin with resetting—breaking the opponent’s initial controlling grips and funneling the fight to a place where you can dominate. Watch his matches—this is something he does relentlessly. A Marcelo Garcia highlight reel is like a technique DVD focused on a single technical pathway to submission. Why? Because he doesn’t accept what Tom DeBlass calls “the mutual agreement,” that the guard passer will (a) allow a guard to be established and then (b) try to dismantle it. Marcelo Garcia aggressively seeks advantage and aggressively breaks any tie that doesn’t favor him. Kurt Osiander As a counterexample, check out this video [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l9tP2gRuOo ]of Kurt Osiander explaining how to get out of bottom side control. For the non-BJJ crowd, bottom side control is extremely hard to escape—there are many variations that require different responses. As the bottom player, you’re constantly defending a diverse combination of attacks. For an extremely technical positional breakdown: “bro, you fucked up a long time ago!” Don’t let them get you there. But this theme extends well beyond combat and sports applications. Joel Greenblatt Joel Greenblatt is a legendary investor. Howard Marks—a legend in his own right—describes investment returns in the high teens as being very special. Anything above that level should be viewed as the territory of the very best of the experienced professional investing world. Joel Greenblatt returned 50% per annum for a decade, well over 50x returns. He’s written a deeply technical book about investing opportunity and deeply simple book about beating the market using a simple rule. The first book is called You Can Be a Stock Market Genius. Don’t let the goofy title fool you. It’s one of the best books on public markets investing, period. Joel attributes his success to his methodology—a hyper focus on “special situations” like spinoffs, rights offerings, restructurings, stub stocks, and much more. What’s so “special” about these situations? They are corners of the market where sophisticated players act like idiots for structural reasons. Reasons related to their investing mandates. I love the metaphor he uses for this choice on page 55: So, there I was, at perhaps the finest restaurant in the world, certainly in New York, looking over the menu. Over walks a gentleman in full chef’s garb to help with our order. Somehow, his outfit didn’t tip me off that this was actually Andre Soltner, proprietor and head chef. Pointing to one of the appetizers on the menu, I asked innocently, “Is this one any good?” “No, it stinks!” came Soltner’s reply. Even thought he was just kidding around, I did get the point. Pretty much everything on the menu was going to be good. Selecting Lutece was the important culinary decision, my particular menu choices were just fine tuning. … It’s great to look for investments in places other are not, but it’s not enough. You also have to look in the right places. If you preselect investment areas that put you ahead of the game even before you start (the “Luteces” of the investment world), the most important work is already done. You’ll still have plenty of decisions to make, but if you’re picking and choosing your spots from an already outstanding menu, your choices are less likely to result in indigestion. Seth Godin Continuing along with the “culinary metaphors” to explain the catalysts versus derivative decisions theme, we have some thoughts from Seth Godin in his post “Tires, Coffee, and People.” [ https://seths.blog/2015/09/tires-coffee-and-people/ ] The most important part of a cup of coffee is the beans. The grinder, the machine, the barista pale in comparison to the quality of what you start with. Tim Ferriss And finally, Tim Ferriss is a huge proponent of the concept. Tim calls these high-leverage actions “lead dominos” and describes them as things that “make everything else easier or irrelevant.” Threads to Pull So where does this leave us? I really enjoy the concept of “threads to pull.” Why? Circumstances vary widely, so the execution of certain strategies can become a no go. Specific application is crucial. So while it’s impossible to make blanket statements that will work for any situation, we can always ask ourselves good questions. ·         How can I “be first?” ·         When am I reactive? How can I transition to proactive? ·         What’s at the very beginning of my critical decision tree? ·         Where can I find structural causes of market dislocations? ·         How can I improve the quality of my fundamental building blocks? ·         What rules can I use so that my decision-making doesn’t matter?

Hey guys & Gals, this is Cam Byrne and welcome to the Fistbump Podcast. Today we’ve got an incredibly special guest on the show with us… Ralph Gracie BJJ Black Belt, head instructor at Empire Jiu Jitsu in San Francisco, host of his YouTube segment “Move of the week”… Kurt “The Rhino” Osiander. If you haven’t heard of Kurt, you’re missing out - his teaching philosophy focuses on getting really good at the “basic” or “fundamentals” before progressing onto more advanced techniques. Even if you ignore the technique, his no bullshit style and his catch phrase “bro, you fucked up a long time ago” has helped him amass a cult following online. I’m giving everyone a pretty clear warning for this episode: if you don’t like swearing, or potentially offensive topics, this podcast isn’t for you - Kurt is always honest and blunt about his opinions, so prepare yourself. I hope you like the podcast, let me know on the Fistbump Podcast Facebook page.   Intro Music: "Getting it Done" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
