The journey to a purple belt in jiu-jitsu represents far more than just time on the mats—it's about dedication, passion, and finding your path across different training environments. After starting at Travis's in Fort Worth, then training at Marcelo Garcia's, and finally finding my home at Team Silverback, I've reached this significant milestone that sits at the halfway point between white belt beginnings and black belt mastery.My martial arts journey has become deeply intertwined with my identity as both a comedian and a veteran. The warrior spirit that drives me to master jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and judo techniques complements rather than competes with my comedy career. When you're trying to prevent someone from choking you or throwing you to the ground, your mind can't wander to joke structures or punchlines—you're fully present in the moment. This mental break actually strengthens my comedy by allowing my subconscious to work while my conscious mind focuses elsewhere.There's profound wisdom in balancing passionate pursuits. Moving between creative endeavors and physical challenges creates a therapeutic rhythm that enhances mental health. Just as weightlifting forces you to focus on not dropping a heavy barbell, martial arts demands complete awareness—except the "weight" is actively trying to submit you! This requirement for total presence functions as a form of moving meditation, temporarily freeing you from the thought patterns that might otherwise dominate your mind. Whether you're a comedian, veteran, or someone seeking balance, finding complementary passions might be the key to thriving in both. Want to discover what martial arts or finding your own balanced passions could do for you? Follow along as I continue sharing insights from both the comedy stage and the training mats.Merchandise Line: / Comedy:www.WarAndLaughs.com / www.BenjaWelldone.comIG: @WARandLaughs / @BenjaWelldoneSupporting:-*Military/Law,-*Wrestling/Jiu-jitsu,-*Savages/Self Motivated People-*Comedy#WarAndLaughs, REPRESENT.

In this episode, we bring you an incredible interview with none other than Jonathan Satava. Jon is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under the legendary Marcelo Garcia, part of the golden generation of grapplers from Garcia's New York academy. Regarded as one of the top prospects in the 82kg (181lbs) weight class, Jon has achieved remarkable victories at the Worlds, Pan American Championships, and World Pro in the lower belt divisions. He solidified his reputation at the black belt level with a double gold performance at the No-Gi Pan American, back-to-back silver medals at the No-Gi World Championships, a 3rd place finish at the Abu Dhabi World Pro, and winning the North American ADCC Trials. Beyond his impressive competition record, Jon has been a dedicated instructor at the Marcelo Garcia Academy in NYC, taught seminars worldwide, and been featured in numerous jiu-jitsu magazines and instructional content. Now, he shares his 15+ years of knowledge, experience, and passion for the gentle art at Peak Jiu-Jitsu in both League City, Texas, and Patchogue, NY. His instructionals are highly sought after on major platforms. I'm so honored to have Jon on the show, he truly straddles the worlds of traditional and modern Jiu-Jitsu. I greatly appreciate Jon's transparency and heart-wrenching honesty, it's truly courageous of him to say things so many others have been thinking and feeling. He's a remarkable individual and someone I'm truly honored to have had a conversation with. I hope this is the first of many.

Is gi jiu-jitsu the pinnacle of martial arts, or does no-gi hold the crown in modern grappling? Join us as we explore this contentious debate with Joseph Worthington and JT Tenasti, who bring their expertise and passion to the discussion. We dive into the evolution of training practices and celebrate jiu-jitsu legends like Marcelo Garcia and Gordon Ryan. Whether you're a steadfast supporter of the gi or a no-gi enthusiast, you'll gain valuable insights on how each style uniquely shapes the sport and contributes to the future of jiu-jitsu.In our conversation, we spotlight the distinct paths to proficiency that gi and no-gi jiu-jitsu offer. Journey through the meticulous and detailed world of gi training with JT, who extols its virtues in building a solid foundation and enhancing one's technical repertoire. On the flip side, Joseph champions the dynamic and fast-paced no-gi environment, emphasizing its appeal to younger, athletic practitioners and those seeking a quicker route to competence. From the slow, intricate mastery of gi to the explosive rise of no-gi prodigies like Nicky Rod, we cover the spectrum of experiences and benefits each path offers.Finally, we delve into the broader implications of gi vs. no-gi within the martial arts community. Discover the traditional structure and disciplined approach of gi jiu-jitsu, which fosters values beyond mere technique. Contrast this with the sport-centric, mainstream appeal of no-gi, which promises greater professional opportunities and adaptability. Our episode culminates in a thoughtful discussion on the long-term sustainability and growth potential of both styles. As always, we're grateful for our dedicated listeners—your support propels us forward, and we can't wait to share these engaging conversations with you.

Ludovic Parreira est coach principal à Gpsports Miramas, club fondé en 2008 avec toutes les difficultés que véhiculaient les images erronées et méconnues dont été victimes les premiers UFC à cette époque. Le club a débuté avec une petite poignée de passionnés / motivés qui s'entrainait dans un garage sans chauffage ni climatisation.Ludovic a voyagé aux quatre coins du monde afin d'alimenter sa passion, son envie de progression dans les arts martiaux et apprendre des meilleurs : Caol Uno, Fernando Macachero, José Aldo, maître Freddy Lepine, Roger Huerta, Dean Lister, Hiroyuki Abe, Jeff Glover, Ricardo Vieira, Jake Shields. Il aura aussi passé de nombreux mois aux Etats-Unis à s'entrainer avec Clark Gracie, Eddie Bravo, Marcelo Garcia et John Danaher pour ne citer qu'eux…Dans cet épisode il partage avec nous sa vision des arts martiaux, mais aussi de la méditation et de la préparation mentale qui font partie intégrante de sa pratique en tant que coach et combattant.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

In the previous episode, we talked to Dr. Marcelo Garcia about the astonishing compilation of sediment science he edited, the ASCE Sedimentation Manual.   In this episode, we turn to some of his work, covering a wide range of topics, but landing for a while on sedimentation hazards including mud and debris flows, the Bulle Effect, and two transport paradigms (the Bagnold vs the Einstein approaches).  Dr. Garcia is professor at the University of Illinois-Urbana and the director of the Ven Te Chow hydraulic lab.  This series was funded by the Regional Sediment Management (RSM) program.Stanford Gibson (HEC Sediment Specialist) hosts.Mike Loretto edited the episode and wrote and performed the music.Video shorts and other bonus content are available at the podcast website (which was temporarily down but is back up now):https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/confluence/rasdocs/rastraining/latest/the-rsm-river-mechanics-podcast...but most of the supplementary videos are available on the HEC Sediment YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/stanfordgibson

Dr. Marcelo Garcia holds an endowed chair in Hydraulics at the University of Illinois-Urbana – where he has taught for more than thirty years, and runs the remarkable Ven Te Chow hydraulic and sediment laboratory. His award page reads like a who's-who of the Legends in our field.  These include but are not limited to:The Einstein Award, the Rouse Award, and the Yalin lifetime achievement award.And he is a Distinguished member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the an elected fellow of the American Geophysical Union.And that's all very impressive.  Dr. Garcia is - without question – one of the leading quantitative sediment scientists of his generation.But the quality that made this conversation remarkable, is Marcello's grasp and deep connection with the history of the sediment transport and river mechanics disciplines.It became clear that he sees his work in continuity with the foundational work and scientists that preceded him.  He has effortlessly describes how modern sediment transport principles or puzzles are rooted in the work and lives of our discipline's historic figures.And, well, these are some of the big themes I hoped for with this podcast.This is also why he was uniquely qualified to the 10-year project of compiling the American Society of Civil Engineers Manual of Practice on Sedimentation (110) – arguably the most comprehensive work on sediment science and engineering available. We talked about that project, how he collaborated with dozens of authors to knit together this massive compendium of sediment and river insight.  But in the process, I learned a lot, not only about some of the big ideas in our disciplines, but also the stories of the people behind them and how they became some of our big ideas.The ASCE Manual of Practice is here: https://ascelibrary.org/doi/10.1061/40856%28200%2994This series was funded by the Regional Sediment Management (RSM) program.Stanford Gibson (HEC Sediment Specialist) hosts.Mike Loretto edited the episode and wrote and performed the music.Video shorts and other bonus content are available at the podcast website (which was temporarily down but is back up now):https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/confluence/rasdocs/rastraining/latest/the-rsm-river-mechanics-podcast...but most of the supplementary videos are available on the HEC Sediment YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/stanfordgibson

The one where we talk with Brazilian-American Jiu-jitsu legend Robert Drysdale about the political situation in Brazil, why social media is killing society, and how to keep growing as a person.Here are some of the sources and notes we used to assemble this episode. Please check them out. Robert Drysdale - Bloody Elbow article"“I lost family members over this. I lost friends. I never voted for the Worker's Party in my life, but I refuse to support Bolsonaro. I have family members who stopped talking to me. They would ask me to go public and make a video with all these other jiu-jitsu guys who supported Bolsonaro. They were like ‘Why can't you do the same?'. I'll live under a bridge before I support a guy like Bolsonaro. There's no way. These people have no plans for Brazil. Their plan was to sell the country to foreign investors. I never thought he was a serious candidate. Brazilians were so fed up with the Worker's Party that they voted for him out of anger. It was a hate vote.”Zenith Jiu-JitsuRobert's Academy and Jiu-Jitsu association.A typical day at Zenith Jiu-JitsuTraining for competition at Robert's academy in Las Vegas.
