Podcasts about Mats

Nach dem verdienten Extra Schönheitsschlaf von Mats sind die Jungs mit ein paar Tagen Verspätung wieder da und haben massig Themen im Gepäck dabei. Und nicht nur das, sondern auch zumindest teilweise kommt ein gern gesehener, überraschender Gast in dieser Folge ausführlich zu Wort.

Mongabay staff writer Aimee Gabay joins the Newscast this week to discuss her reporting trip to the Peruvian Amazon, where she spoke with the Indigenous Matsés community. She made the trip initially to examine environmental threats to Matsés territory. Instead, she found them suffering from an epidemic of malaria and hepatitis B, which they have been asking the Peruvian government to help address. "The story itself was a surprise … every question directed to them about environmental changes would immediately become an issue about health," Gabay says. The current epidemic of malaria and hepatitis B they face is being exacerbated by climate change, drought, and state neglect. Prolonged dry weather allows for favorable conditions for malaria-bearing mosquitoes to breed, and at the same time cuts off the river transit that the Matsés depend on for access to health care. Community members have travelled to the nearest major city to plead with the Peruvian government, but they say they're still not receiving the proper health care that they need — sometimes dying after they reach the city, according to Matsés chief Leo Chuma Teca Beso. The Peruvian government has had guidelines for addressing health risks for Indigenous communities for nearly two decades. Still, authorities say they struggle to implement the measures outlined in them, Gabay says. "On paper, they do have the protocols. They have got plans, but it's the implementation that we're not seeing." Please take a minute to let us know what you think of our podcast here.

This week on the podcast, I welcome back Crazy 88 MMA Brown Belt Kyle Rocke for a catch-up episode focused on jiu-jitsu, travel, and his recent trip to Barbados. Kyle shares what took him to the island, his experience exploring Barbados, and what happened when he decided to add a little Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the vacation by dropping into a local BJJ academy. We talk about walking into an unfamiliar gym and what it's like to realize that jiu-jitsu gives you an instant connection with people almost anywhere in the world. We also catch up on Kyle's current BJJ journey, what he's been working on back home, how his game has evolved, and whether training while traveling is something more grapplers should experience. Whether you train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, enjoy martial arts travel, or have ever thought about packing your gi on vacation, this episode is a look at how the mats can make a new place feel a little more familiar.

I det första riktiga höstrusket samlas vi än en gång för att värma oss kring nördbrasan. Jonas, Mats och Niklas går först igenom ett gäng nyheter, bland annat om de kommande nya konsolerna och hur de kommer att funka (kanske), och mycket annat. Därefter snackar Niklas lite om de filmer han sett nyligen, d v s Over Your Dead Body (som vi tidigare sett i norsk version) och Splitsville. Vi diskuterar lite grann om vad vi förväntar oss av Grand Theft Auto 6, och Jonas får gå igenom en serie mindre sommarspel han spelat och rekommenderar: Leaf It Alone, Hearth and Hamlet och The Artisan of Glimmith. Mats har spelat det (åtminstone av honom) hett efterlängtade Star Wars: Zero Company, och till sist berättar Niklas och Jonas om sina första intryck av The Witcher-utbrytarnas första spel, Blood of the Dawnwalker. Tack & Förlåt! Puss Hej!

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner open a brand new season with Matt Stone, Director of Education at Teaching Walkthrus and lead author of Coaching Walkthrus, for a deeply practical conversation about what it really takes to make coaching work in schools. Matt traces his journey from secondary English teacher and senior leader and how those experiences led to him wanting to develop a coaching culture rooted in trust, shared language and genuine professional growth, moving away from high-stakes lesson observation and accountability towards something more useful, humane, and sustainable. The discussion explores Matt's three domains of coaching - personal, cognitive and technical - and why effective professional development has to help teachers see the value of change, understand the thinking behind it, and actually practise the techniques that will make a difference in classrooms. Along the way, they unpack how schools can design coaching systems that are realistic for their context, from whole-staff approaches to team-based models and one-to-one support; why training sits at the heart of good coaching; and how “theory, see it, name it, do it” can help teachers move from ideas to action. As Director of Education and co-author of Coaching WalkThrus, Matt Stone shapes the strategic direction of WalkThrus' training and support. He leads the training team, supports member schools, and oversees resource development, while providing in-school training, consultancy and coaching. Matt is a former English teacher and school leader in Wales.Tom Sherrington has worked in schools as a teacher and leader for 30 years and is now a consultant specialising in teacher development and curriculum & assessment planning. He regularly contributes to conferences and CPD sessions locally and nationally and is busy working in schools and colleges across the UK and around the world.

Det blir ett kärt återseende mellan Mats Ryd och Edward Blom, som inte sett varandra på ett bra tag sedan sommarens Lunch-utan-slut. Tillsammans drar de upp riktlinjerna för höstens poddande, vilket tycks komma att innehålla bland annat en påfågelsmåltid!Edward härbärgerar nämligen en hel påfågel, med fjädrar och allt, i frysen, och berättar dessutom – apropå konstarten taxidermi – om när hans hustru likt Loranga en gång hittade en uppstoppad uggla i familjens röda brevlåda. Dessutom har de båda poddarna noterat att en uppstoppad tiger från Tasmanien nyligen sålts på auktion i London.Apropå London så drömmer Edward om att larva runt på sta'n likt Bertie Wooster och leva på räntor från någon familjestiftelse – och för att i brist på sådant leverne åtminstone inviga sina barn i brittisk kultur har han under sommaren tagit dem just till England där de tågluffat, åkt dubbeldäckare samt ätit såväl jelly pudding som Sunday Roast. Mats å sin sida har fått avnjuta sommartid i Palma de Mallorca.De båda poddarna konstaterar att deras hemmafixarlistor bara kortades marginellt under sommaren, och att det ännu är oklart vem av dem som är sämst i världen på att svetsa.Dock är de bra på att ägna sig åt företeelser som champagnesponsring (det är förstås Mats' gebiet!), schnitzelvecka och märgkaka. Det senare är ett av många exempel på vad kan kan göra av sitt överflöd av viltkött, apropå ett lyssnarbrev som får Edward att på allvar fundera över att ta sig ut i glesbygden lite oftare.Avslutningsvis bjuder vi här på texten till släkten Blom-Jarlbos traditionella släktsnapsvisa:HoddiknoddText och musik: Jan Jarlbo (Edwards fasters man)Föööööörhoddiknodd och pimpikadett.För hoddiknodd och pimpikadett.För han, sicken en hansom stickes i låddan i blan'.Skål!Glöm inte att prenumerera på podden, och/eller ge bort podden som presentkort!

Returning guest Mannuel C. joins me again on the Off the Mats Podcast for a laid-back catch-up conversation about life, jiu-jitsu, personal growth, and everything that's changed since we last sat down together. We talk about where Mannuel is in life right now, changes in motivation, navigating plateaus, and the importance of the right people and training environment. We also get into changing priorities, personal goals, and what keeps him moving forward through different seasons of life. This episode is less about chasing one specific topic and more about checking in, reconnecting, and having the kind of conversation that happens when two people haven't sat down together in a while. Whether you train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, enjoy martial arts podcasts, or just appreciate honest conversations about growth and everyday life, this episode has something for you. Follow Off the Mats Podcast for more conversations with grapplers, martial artists, coaches, competitors, and people from throughout the BJJ community.

Vi börjar sömlöst höstsäsongen med ett fullmatat catch-up-avsnitt! Jonas, Mats och Niklas inleder hösten med att gå igenom vad vi missat under sommaren, sådant som fångat vårt öga från det pågående GamesCom och en hel del annat kul i vårt nyhetsblock. Därefter kastar vi oss in i filmens underbara värld. Mats har tittat på Flow, som visserligen har ett par år på nacken, men som ändå rekommenderas varmt - indieanimation när den är som bäst. Dessutom har vi i olika konstellationer sett filmer som The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Obsession, Backrooms, Supergirl, He-Man, The Furious, Disclosure Day och säkert någon mer som vi glömt nu. Mats har sett Widow's Bay, och berättar exakt varför både fans av skräck och mörka komedier ska se den. Dessutom har både han och Jonas hunnit spela Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced. Och så klart tittar vi på meme-spelet Paint Drying Simulator - du får själv gissa vem av oss som spelat det! Tack & Förlåt! Puss Hej!

Have you ever striped the ball on the driving range, only to step onto the golf course and wonder what happened to your swing? If you have experienced that, you're not alone—and you are definitely not losing your game. In this episode of the Golf Party Live Podcast, we break down one of the biggest misconceptions in golf: practicing on mats versus playing on real grass. While both have their place, they provide very different feedback, and understanding those differences can dramatically improve your practice and your confidence. In this episode, we discuss: ● Why mats and grass are not the same ● The pros of practicing on mats: ● Convenient and accessible ● Lighted driving ranges for evening practice ● Home practice setups and simulators ● The limitations of mats: ● Firm surfaces can hide swing flaws ● Why hitting too steeply can lead to wrist, elbow, or shoulder injuries ● How mats can create a false sense of solid contact ● The pros of practicing on grass: ● Honest, real-world feedback ● Learning to strike the ball before the ground ● Why grass never lies ● The challenges of grass: ● Harder to find and maintain ● More expensive ● Lies and conditions constantly change ● The modern practice reality: ● Why so many golfers now practice primarily on mats and simulators ● Why mats are an excellent training tool—but grass is the ultimate test ● Why the transition from mats to grass feels so difficult ● What your brain is experiencing when your shots suddenly change ● What to focus on during practice to make your skills transfer to the golf course ● How to practice with purpose and build lasting confidence Whether you are a brand-new golfer or you have been playing for years, this episode will help you better understand why your range game doesn't always show up on the course—and how to fix it. Thank you for listening to the Golf Party Live Podcast! If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your golfing friends—especially someone who feels like they can hit it great on the range but struggles once they get on the golf course. Have fun… and GO LOW!

In this episode of Off the Mats Podcast, I sit down with my Crazy 88 MMA teammate Renee R., along with her son Joshua and daughter Annalena, to talk about what it's been like discovering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu together as a family. Renee began training in January 2026 and is still in the early stages of her journey as a white belt, but she has already experienced how quickly jiu-jitsu can become more than just another hobby. We talk about what originally brought her to the mats, the nerves and challenges that come with being a beginner, learning to become comfortable with being uncomfortable, competing early in her journey, and the ways training has started to influence her confidence and mindset away from the gym. Joshua and Annalena also join the conversation to share their own experiences training at Crazy 88 MMA, giving us a look at jiu-jitsu through the eyes of younger athletes and what it's like when martial arts becomes something the entire family can share. This episode is about more than submissions and techniques. It's about starting something new, growing together, and finding community through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you're a longtime grappler, a brand-new white belt, a parent considering martial arts for your kids, or someone wondering what it's like to begin BJJ, this conversation offers a relatable look at life on and off the mats. Topics include: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for beginners, the white belt experience, kids in jiu-jitsu, family martial arts, BJJ competition, Crazy 88 MMA, confidence, personal growth, and building community through grappling.

In this episode of the Off the Mats Podcast, I sit down with my Crazy 88 MMA teammate Brian Garcia to talk about what it's like to start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a brand-new white belt. Brian has been training for less than a year, so we get into the beginner experience from the ground up: walking into the gym for the first time, surviving the early months, getting comfortable with live rolling, learning how to deal with constant mistakes and submissions, and slowly recognizing the signs of improvement. We also talk about training at Crazy 88 MMA, becoming part of the jiu-jitsu community, the effects that it can have on mental health, developing confidence on and off the mats, and what keeps someone coming back even after the toughest training sessions. Whether you're a longtime grappler or considering your first BJJ class, this episode offers a relatable look at the early stages of the jiu-jitsu journey. Topics include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for beginners, BJJ white belt experiences, Crazy 88 MMA, martial arts training, grappling, confidence, gym culture, and personal growth through jiu-jitsu.

Host Pete Deeley welcomes Coach Levi Frank to The Jiu-Jitsu Mindset, shares updates on Submission Coffee sponsoring the Momentum Martial Arts Competition Team and the ad-free My Jiu Jitsu Journey app, then explores how martial arts transformed Levi's life. Levi explains he lacked confidence before MMA/jiu-jitsu and was influenced by watching UFC, school bullying, and a difficult relationship with his older brother. He credits Professor Darian Cobon with changing his worldview and mindset, replacing false security with confidence built from training and work, helping him calm overthinking and improve daily life. Levi argues competition is necessary because it tests training and changes people mentally regardless of outcome. He recounts a memorable amateur MMA TKO against a striker, following Darian's guidance to secure mount and finish with ground-and-pound. Levi also describes the impact of teaching kids and seeing dramatic confidence and life changes in students, and jokingly adopts the nickname "Super Billy Gilly" for his love of the guillotine.   00:00 Welcome and Sponsors 01:14 Life Without Martial Arts 02:39 Bullying and Early Motivation 04:03 Coach Darian Mindset Shift 05:26 Confidence Beyond the Mats 08:55 Why Competition Matters 11:43 Most Memorable MMA Fight 14:35 Ring vs Schoolyard Violence 18:39 Teaching Kids and Raising Lions 21:21 Gym Transformations and Wins 23:54 Super Billy Gilly Name 24:39 Closing and Next Meetup

Off the Mats Podcast celebrates another anniversary with Episode #322 and the return of friend to the podcast, Mark Rollamas, from Crazy 88 MMA. Mark was the guest on the very first episode of Off the Mats back in August 2020, and he returns to continue our annual tradition of reflecting on the podcast, martial arts, and where life has taken us. In this episode, Mark and I recap our day at the Muay Thai Developmental League, better known as the MDL, and discuss the atmosphere surrounding amateur Muay Thai development. We also get into our shared love of horror films, our current experiences in grappling, and some of the most underrated positions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Mark also shares practical advice for BJJ white belts who are learning how to survive, develop confidence, and build a strong foundation on the mats. Whether you train jiu-jitsu, follow Muay Thai, enjoy horror movies, or have been listening since Episode #1, this anniversary conversation is about friendship, consistency, and continuing to grow both on and off the mats.

Episode 20 of the Off the Mats Nerdcast is here, and Maryland Phil is back to catch up on everything happening across nerd culture. This week, we break down the latest Marvel Legends reveals from San Diego Comic-Con, including the new Marvel vs. Capcom Sentinel and other figures that caught our attention. We also react to the Avengers: Doomsday trailer, talk about Robert Downey Jr. stepping into the role of Doctor Doom, and discuss whether Marvel can make the next Avengers movie feel like a true event again. We also preview Spider-Man: Brand New Day ahead of its July 31 theatrical release, including where Peter Parker's story could go after No Way Home, Jon Bernthal's Punisher, and what we want from a more grounded Spider-Man story.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by Dr. Sarah Oberle, primary teacher, cognitive science advocate and co-author of Executive Functions for Every K–3 Classroom, for a rich and highly practical conversation about what the science of learning means for younger children. Sarah explains why executive functions - especially working memory, inhibition and cognitive flexibility - are not just specialist or SEND concerns, but fundamental cognitive processes that shape how all pupils attend, transition, regulate themselves, follow instructions and engage with learning. The discussion explores how teachers can design classrooms, routines and tasks that respect children's developmental stage, reduce unnecessary interference, and increase automaticity so pupils can focus more of their limited cognitive bandwidth on the learning itself. Through examples such as “Betty and the Bats,” they unpack the hidden demands behind apparently simple classroom tasks, showing how small adjustments to resources, instructions and expectations can make a big difference.Sarah Oberle is an educator, author, speaker, and professional learning designer with 18 years of experience as a primary classroom teacher. Her work centres on helping educators understand how learning happens and how that understanding shapes daily instructional decisions. Sarah designs and facilitates evidence-informed professional learning for teachers and school leaders, both in person and virtually. She works with national and international organizations to ensure professional learning is research-informed, practical, and responsive to the realities of teaching. Her most recent book is Executive Functions for Every K–3 Classroom.

Melly returns to the Off the Mats Podcast for a conversation about creativity, anxiety, and her evolving relationship with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Since her last appearance, Melly has stepped away from the mats while navigating motherhood for the first time and learning how to balance her new responsibilities with her identity as an artist and grappler. We discuss what life has looked like during this transition, the challenges of being away from training, and why taking a break from jiu-jitsu does not mean walking away from it forever. Melly also shares the inspiration behind @artofjiujitsu and @theartofcalm_co, where she combines creativity, mindfulness, and art meditation to help people manage anxiety and find moments of calm. This episode explores identity beyond the mats, the pressure to remain productive, and how art can become a practical tool for slowing down and reconnecting with yourself.

BJJ brown belt Moe Brown returns to Off the Mats Podcast to help break down UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway 2. We discuss Conor McGregor's long-awaited return, the unfortunate knee injury that brought the main event to an early conclusion, and whether Max Holloway should receive full credit for the victory. We also examine what the result means for both fighters, whether a trilogy fight makes sense, and whether McGregor's latest setback could mark the end of his career inside the Octagon. Moe also provides his technical grappling perspective on Paddy Pimblett's quick D'Arce choke against Benoît Saint Denis, Brandon Royval's rear-naked-choke finish, Mario Bautista's victory over Cory Sandhagen, and Robert Whittaker's successful light-heavyweight debut.  What was your reaction to the UFC 329 main event? Should Holloway and McGregor fight for a third time? Follow Off the Mats Podcast, leave a rating and review, and join the conversation.

Cassidy Roblero ("La Cazadora") on Martial Arts as an Outlet, Competition Mindset, and Building Confidence On this episode of The Jiu Jitsu Mindset, the host shares updates on the My Jiu Jitsu Journey app (a zero-advertising, subscription-based jujitsu-only platform) and Submission Coffee sponsoring the Momentum Martial Arts Competition Team, then interviews Momentum athlete and coach Cassidy Roblero. Cassidy describes starting boxing at 14 and MMA/jujitsu/Muay Thai at 15 during a personal crisis, crediting martial arts with providing a healthy outlet, structure, community, and inner calm. She discusses mentorship from Coach Darian and how martial arts principles apply to life, reflects on women's growing opportunities in combat sports, and explains how competition tests skills and mindset under pressure. Cassidy recounts pivotal experiences from her first jujitsu competition and first MMA fight, emphasizing self-belief, resilience, honesty, and adapting technique for safety, and highlights the confidence gains she sees in kids who train. She shares her fight name, La Cazadora ("The Huntress"), where to follow her (Cass on the Mats), and notes she's rehabbing a neck/shoulder with hopes to fight in September or October.   00:00 Welcome and Updates 01:46 Meet Cassidy Roblero 02:40 Martial Arts Saved Me 04:09 Crisis to Calm 07:08 Coaches and Life Lessons 09:24 Women in Combat Sports 13:27 Why Compete 18:07 First MMA Fight Mindset 22:05 Confidence and Resilience 27:53 Kids Program Transformations 33:21 The Huntress Identity 34:11 Follow and Next Fight

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by Shaun Allison and Andy Tharby from Durrington High School to revisit the enduring influence of their landmark book Making Every Lesson Count, 11 years on. Together they reflect on how the book's six principles - challenge, explanation, modelling, practice, feedback, and questioning - emerged from real classroom and whole-school practice, and why they continue to offer such a powerful, practical language for improving teaching. Shaun and Andy discuss how their thinking has evolved over time, how the principles still shape practice at Durrington, and what it takes to build a culture where getting better never stops. They also consider what ideas and strategies they would include and exclude if the book were written now, given the strides that have been made in the last decade.

Nach einer kleinem Hydration Break letzte Woche inklusive fehlender Erklärung weil sich Mats wie üblich weggeduckt hat bei einem kritischen Thema ist AIS wieder so stark unterwegs wie Jan Lennard Struff wenn er das Wort „Fünfsatzmatch“ hört.

On this episode of Off the Mats Podcast, I sit down with Ben Kerslake, a BJJ brown belt whose life recently changed after undergoing surgery that resulted in an ileostomy. Ben shares the story behind his health journey, what recovery has been like, and how he is adjusting physically and emotionally to life with an ostomy. We also discuss the challenges of stepping away from Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the support he has received from the people around him, and his return to the mats. Ben speaks openly about vulnerability, confidence, adaptation, and what strength looks like when your body and daily routine suddenly change. This is an honest conversation about resilience, ostomy awareness, major surgery recovery, and the determination to keep moving forward both on and off the mats.

In this deeply personal episode of Off the Mats Podcast, I sit down with Crazy 88 MMA blue belt Brandon Timmins to remember his younger brother, Justin Timmins, a fellow grappler and valued member of the Crazy 88 MMA community whom we recently lost to suicide. Brandon shares memories of Justin as a brother, teammate, and person while discussing grief, the pressure many men feel to hide their struggles, and why honest conversations about mental health matter. We also reflect on the seminar held at Crazy 88 MMA in Elkridge on June 27, with donations benefiting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. This conversation is not an attempt to provide simple answers or define Justin by the circumstances of his death. It is about honoring his life, supporting those affected by suicide loss, and encouraging men to understand that asking for help is not a weakness. This episode includes discussions of suicide, grief, and mental health that may be difficult for some listeners. If you or someone you know is struggling or experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. Support is available 24 hours a day. Rest in peace, Justin Timmins. Also, please consider donating to the foundations listed: https://supporting.afsp.org/campaigns/Justin-Timmins---Gone-Too-Soon https://988lifeline.org/donate/

Jake sits down without a guest to catch listeners up on what has been happening in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community, around the gym, and behind the scenes of the podcast. He shares thoughts on current BJJ conversations, training consistency, gym culture, personal progress, and the challenges of balancing jiu-jitsu with work, family, recovery, and podcasting. Jake also reflects on how Off the Mats has evolved over more than 300 episodes, what he has learned from interviewing grapplers, coaches, fighters, and community members, and why everyday stories continue to be an important part of the show. The episode closes with a preview of upcoming guests, future conversations, and what may be next for Off the Mats Podcast. Whether you are a competitor, coach, hobbyist, or someone simply trying to stay consistent on the mats, this episode is a reminder that progress can look different at every stage of the journey.

Johan Lorentzon and Eliška Prchalová return to the Off the Mats Podcast for a follow-up conversation about growth, competition, coaching, and community through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Since their last appearance, a lot has changed. Johan stepped onto the competition mats for the first time, Eliška continued growing through her own BJJ journey, and together they held their first seminar in Norway. We also discussed the reopening of Northpaw in Luleå after it burned down and what it meant to be there on opening day at the new location. This episode is about more than medals or matches. It is about leadership, resilience, rebuilding after adversity, and how jiu-jitsu continues to shape people on and off the mats.

Professor Michael Casey on Playful Learning, Trust, Breath, and Real-World Jiu-Jitsu Host Pete Deeley interviews Professor Michael Casey on why jiu-jitsu learning should start relaxed and playful, noting that fun and visible improvement keep both kids and adults training. Casey describes how he introduced his son Declan through play, community support, and avoiding "nagging dad" behavior, later adding hands-on coaching and emphasizing position before submission. They discuss building trust in a gym, safety culture, and how breathing and conscious pauses expand the space between emotion and reaction, improving self-control and maturity. Casey contrasts sport and self-defense approaches, arguing honesty about goals matters and that positional control often outweighs submissions in real-world contexts like healthcare or law enforcement. He critiques "flip the switch" self-defense claims, discourages enforcing gym culture by beating up "jerks," and advises older beginners to shop for supportive communities and advocate for themselves.   00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:34 Playful Learning in Jiu Jitsu 03:49 Kids vs Adults Training Paths 06:17 Raising a Jiu Jitsu Kid 19:13 Position Before Submission 25:40 Emotions and Self Control 31:54 Breath as a Training Tool 35:52 Teaching Self Defense Framework 39:47 Mapping Fight Feelings 40:29 Fear Isn't Weakness 42:09 Rational vs Irrational Fear 44:29 Incremental Safety and Trust 48:19 Instructor Builds Support 52:35 Relaxation as a Symptom 55:05 Lessons Off the Mats 01:06:30 Commit Without Attachment 01:14:43 Resilience Through Failure 01:19:27 Jiu-Jitsu Then vs Now 01:22:02 Street Ready Jiu Jitsu 01:22:36 Sport Vs Self Defense 01:23:11 Honesty In Training 01:25:18 Why The Grind Matters 01:27:54 Jiu Jitsu As Lifestyle 01:31:21 Preserve Or Evolve 01:32:29 Culture Bowing And Gis 01:35:35 Innovation With Relson Rickson 01:45:25 Finding Your Right School 01:47:48 Starting At 55 01:49:50 Shopping Schools Smart 01:53:53 Responsibility Teaching Violence 01:56:04 Gym Enforcers And Jerks 01:57:10 When Violence Backfires 01:57:52 Reforming the Rough Student 01:59:01 Ego vs Instructor Duty 02:00:05 Helsan Beach Fight Story 02:01:20 Rickson vs Relson Street Logic 02:06:04 Gracie Culture and Upbringing 02:09:12 Training Deescalation Scripts 02:16:27 Snowstorm Deescalation Win 02:17:59 Protecting Your Daughter 02:23:57 Wrap Up and Training Connections

Frog venom burns your skin, makes you purge, and might be the most powerful healing tool you have never tried. In this episode, Host Dave Asprey sits down with Kambo researcher and practitioner Caitlin Thompson to break down how intentional suffering through this ancient Amazonian medicine is producing dramatic results for people with autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, Lyme disease, addiction, and metabolic dysfunction. From the peptide science behind the purge to the biohacking case for voluntary pain, this conversation will change how you think about healing, resilience, and human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Caitlin Thompson is an internationally recognized Kambo practitioner and educator who has guided over 2,700 clients through this medicine, with a focus on Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illness. Her path into this work was shaped by her own recovery from Lyme disease and Lupus. Trained in neurobiology and rooted in psychedelic science, immune health, and the human microbiome, Caitlin is currently pioneering some of the first prospective human studies on Kambo. She collaborates directly with indigenous Amazonian communities including the Matsés, Shuar, Quechua, and Matis, and has appeared on over 100 podcasts and conferences as a leading voice at the intersection of traditional medicine and modern science. Dave and Caitlin break down the full Kambo experience, from the transdermal burns and peptide families flooding your lymphatic system, to the purge, the frog face, and the window of clarity that follows. They explore why the suffering is not a side effect but the actual mechanism, how ordeal medicine builds the same neuroplasticity and dopamine receptor sensitivity that meditation, breathwork, and ice baths produce, and why this ancient practice is becoming one of the most talked about tools in functional medicine and longevity circles. They also dig into the sustainability crisis threatening frog populations in the Amazon, the almost nonexistent research landscape for Kambo, why journals refuse to publish positive findings, and how AI may unlock the ability to synthesize Kambo peptides and remove the dependency on frogs entirely. You'll Learn: Why intentional suffering through Kambo may be one of the most effective biohacking tools for immune reset and brain optimization How Kambo peptides interact with your mitochondria, vagal nerve, and immune system to drive deep healing Why the purge is not a side effect but a keystone mechanism of the medicine How ordeal medicine builds dopamine receptor sensitivity and neuroplasticity similar to fasting, cold exposure, and breathwork What the actual risks of Kambo are and how hyponatremia kills people who do it wrong Why Caitlin recovered from Lupus and Lyme disease using Kambo and what that means for autoimmune conditions How Kambo compares to ketamine, ayahuasca, and other altered states for trauma and performance Why journals refuse to publish Kambo research and what that reveals about the drug development pipeline How AI and synthetic biology may soon make frog harvesting unnecessary What the worst Kambo practitioners do wrong and how to find someone you can actually trust Thank you to our sponsors! -iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE-The One Device | Use code DAVE for $10 off at theonedevice.com/dave-MASA Chips | Go to https://www.masachips.com/DAVEASPREY and use code DAVEASPREY for 25% off your first order.

You'll Learn: Why intentional suffering through Kambo may be one of the most effective biohacking tools for immune reset and brain optimization How Kambo peptides interact with your mitochondria, vagal nerve, and immune system to drive deep healing Why the purge is not a side effect but a keystone mechanism of the medicine How ordeal medicine builds dopamine receptor sensitivity and neuroplasticity similar to fasting, cold exposure, and breathwork What the actual risks of Kambo are and how hyponatremia kills people who do it wrong Why Caitlin recovered from Lupus and Lyme disease using Kambo and what that means for autoimmune conditions How Kambo compares to ketamine, ayahuasca, and other altered states for trauma and performance Why journals refuse to publish Kambo research and what that reveals about the drug development pipeline How AI and synthetic biology may soon make frog harvesting unnecessary What the worst Kambo practitioners do wrong and how to find someone you can actually trust Thank you to our sponsors! -BEYOND Biohacking Conference 2026 | Register with code DAVE300 for $300 off https://beyondconference.com-KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/ and use code DAVE for 20% off-Caldera + Lab | Go to https://calderalab.com/DAVE and use code DAVE at checkout for 20% off your first order.-Screenfit | Get your at-home eye training program for 40% off using code DAVE at https://www.screenfit.com/dave.Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
