As a military veteran or first responder, you need to be planning and implementing strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life. In this powerful episode of the Transition Drill Podcast, sit down with retired Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant Marcus Dawson to explore his journey from the battlefield to the dojo. Marcus shares his experiences in the Marines, detailing the challenges and situations that shaped his 28-year military career. He retired in 2020; he planned to go 30 years, but his commitment to his family was stronger than his commitment to the Marine Corps. He opens up about his struggles with PTSD and survivor's guilt, revealing the dark times he faced and how these battles impacted his mental health. Discover how Marcus found a path to healing through the disciplines of jiu jitsu and boxing, using these martial arts as therapeutic outlets to cope with his trauma. Today, Marcus is dedicated to giving back to the veteran community, teaching and training boxing and jiu jitsu while serving as an ambassador for the We Defy Foundation. His story is a testament to resilience, discipline, and the transformative power of martial arts, making this episode a must-listen for military veterans, first responders, and anyone interested in the intersection of mental health and physical fitness.

In this episode Bill talks with Air Force Veteran, BJJ Brown Belt, and Vice President of the We Defy Foundation, TJ Kruetzer. We talk about how what started as a kids dream to fly the X-Wing fighter for the Rebellion turned into actually becoming a fighter pilot for the U.S. Air Force. What role the Air Force Academy and Self-Discipline played in pursuing these goals, learning that it's ok to fail, how Jiu-Jitsu helped teach him these valuable lessons, and destructive things we do for fun when bored. We also talk about the We Defy Foundation, how TJ originally got involved with the organization, the many veterans lives who have been changed for the better because of it, and what PROVE THEM WRONG really means, why RTSC Training in Cleveland is a great school to learn Jiu-Jitsu, plus so much more.

Today we have with us my friend and teammate Ryan Cohen. Ryan is a Athlete Engagement Manager for the We Defy Foundation in the Midwest & Rocky Mountain Regions. The We Defy Foundation is a foundation started to help disabled combat veterans get started in Jiu Jitsu all around the United States. We Defy has given out over 600 athlete scholarships, there are over 500 affiliate gyms across 45 states. Ryan got started as an Ambassador with We Defy, he was then moved up to a Mentor position. But he was interested in doing more so they made him the Athlete Engagement Manager. That was a little too much for him to handle alone so now there are two other people helping with different regions.   Ryan went into the Marine Corp after high school. He served for four years and did two combat tours in Iraq during his time in the military. Ryan is passionate about helping other combat veterans thrive in life after the military.   He has an undergrad in business from Akron University and got his MBA while working for Akron Children's Hospital. Ryan was looking for something more as he was struggling mentally with PTSD and moved on to help his father part time in a consulting business to allow him to have more time to get involved with the We Defy Foundation.   If you would like more information about the We Defy Foundation please visit their website.   https://wedefyfoundation.org/   If you want to contact the show you can go to https://www.uncensoredhumanity.com/ and fill out the Contact Us form.

David has completed over 10 100 mile races and recently finished a 200 mile run as a fundraiser for the We Defy Foundation. The WE DEFY Foundation is a nonprofit organization which provides combat veterans with military connected disabilities sponsorships to train jiu-jitsu.

Welcome to episode 108 I'm your host Gustavo Dantas and today we have the fourth-degree black belt James Foster. James is the owner of Foster Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Kent, Washington. He shared his martial arts journey, some of his competition experiences, by the way, James is a 3x Black Belt Master World Champion. James is heavily involved with awareness campaigns and nonprofit organizations such as We Defy Foundation, Mission 22, Black Belts for butterflies and Jammin' BJJ. When I asked him how he prepared himself mentally for competitions, his answer inspired me to title this episode: Winning your internal battles. Stick around for my final thoughts after the interview when I expand on the topic Winning your internal battles. Stay tuned right after jiu-jitsu tribe's message. OSS!!

Chantel Taylor and I had a conversation with former Army Green Beret Alan Shebaro. Alan lived in Europe for a number of years growing up as his father was a contractor with the U.S. government. Upon his return to the States Alan joined the Army. After a number of years, Alan reached a crossroad. He either went pro as a mixed martial arts fighter or went to Special Forces selection. He told us a story of a time in Iraq in which he was on an 18-hour mission hunting terrorist. Upon his return to base Alan barely had enough energy to take off his gear as he sat and ate cereal. He looked up at the television and saw his training partner Travis Lutter win the Ultimate Fighter 4 with that victory securing his title fight against UFC legend Anderson Silva. Alan was 1 of only 4 Black Belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the U.S. Army and is the first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt in Special Forces Regiment. Alan went through a dark period upon leaving the military and he talks about it in great detail, and what helped him get out of that dark space. He is now the Vice President of the We Defy Foundation which through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and fitness training provides combat veterans suffering from life-disabling injuries and/or PTSD a long-term means to overcome their challenges. Below Alan shares a story from his first deployment which involves MSG Stephen Walker Booth a Green Beret who died in a motorcycle accident here in the States: Alan: We were already hearing the pings on the vehicle. My heart rate was over 200. I stepped out the vehicle and took 3 steps then hear a whip and saw a spark on the ground. A round missed my head and went by my foot. Everything was chaos. Blurs of colors. It wasn't that I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to do with the training I received to apply in this situation. I'll never forget this. Stephen Walker Booth. This guy comes running right passed me yelling out " I'm going to come at you like a spider monkey boy" laughing his ass off. I was in shock. He's making jokes in a firefight. The weirdest thing happened. Almost instantly the blur disappeared. I could hear crisped sounds. Everything slowed down and I jumped in with one of the cells. Everything clicked. It was all based off what Walker said. It was my 5th or 6th firefight. That affected my career in every single fight after that. In 3rd Group he's a legend.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
