Watering down Jiu Jitsu and at what cost? And pushing your "ways" on your students. Also a quick shout out to Auphonics for the love.

Most martial artists never quit at white belt. But most stay white belts — mentally, emotionally, and tactically — even long after they've earned the rank of black belt. Why? Because they never stayed on the path long enough to discover that the deeper lessons are smaller, quieter, and more transformational than any technique they […]

 Bill is going solo today. he talks about a Twitter troll, what's the biggest physical advantage in BJJ and should new white belts be allowed to spar right away? let us know your experience. 

For me, this was one of the most enjoyable, relevant, funny and amusing podcasts Tiff and I have done in a long time. While it's impossible to be objective about something you're in the middle of, to me it felt like a conversation that most people will connect with, relate to, benefit from or laugh at somewhere along the way. We spoke about 'getting good' at stuff, the social appeal and value of humility, our mutual inability to follow a script (versus going freestyle), my favourite guests (and why), the time my ego got destroyed in an airport lounge, the science and value of meaningful conversations, the intersection of purpose and work, and lots more. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss some white belt BJJ tips that came from a Reddit BJJ forum. We break down 8 pieces of advice and discuss whether we agree or disagree with them. Here is the list: Never date a girl/guy from the gym, (it's easier to get better when you enjoy the place where you train). Stop trying to win. It makes you get hurt. Just get sweaty. Relax…Jiu-Jitsu is like farting. If you have to force it then it's probably sh*t. Baby every injury (also tap quick). Technique is everything. Ask questions in person (don't skip rounds) Recalibrate intensity and err on the side of too easy. 2 x a week for 10 years is better than 2 x a day for 3 years.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is transformational. Why did you start training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Is this the same reason that keeps you coming back, week after week, year after year? Contrary to what you might expect, AJ didn't immediately become obsessed with Jiu-Jitsu. It wasn't until much later, after over a decade of on-and-off training, that she truly fell in love with Jiu-Jitsu. She dives deep into how the physical empowerment and sense of community eventually fueled her passion for the sport. Jen's initiation into Jiu-Jitsu was a bit different – it started with a simple invitation from AJ at a speakers group they were in together. Initially motivated by the desire to step out of her comfort zone, Jen reflects on what has changed and why she keeps coming back. We explore the impact of Jiu-Jitsu on our lives beyond the mat - from how we've used it to boost our self-confidence, handle clients, and trim the dog. Why do you keep coming back to Jiu-Jitsu? Tune in to Episode 200 of Beauty and the Gi and get ready to reflect on your own journey. You might find, like us, that the reasons are multifaceted and always evolving. We want to hear from you! Is the reason you started training the reason you are still training? What has changed for you? How have you evolved on and off the mat? The Highlight Reel (00:00) Intro (02:09) How Jiu-Jitsu improves our relationship with our bodies (04:09) Who and what got Jen started doing Jiu-Jitsu (05:41) Where Jen used mental Jiu-jitsu to deal with a work client (07:25) The benefits of getting comfortable being uncomfortable (09:19) Applying the ‘when in doubt, shrimp out' philosophy to life off the mat (12:03) It's not just women that want to learn self-defense (15:52) When Jen thought about quitting Jiu-Jitsu (16:57) Dealing with the emotional roller coaster of Jiu-Jitsu (20:47) The mantra that keeps us coming back after a rough day on the mat   Watch the full video version on YouTube! https://youtu.be/oxBznN311ak   If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!

In Episode 210 I sit down with Adam Livesay. Adam recently joined our Jiu Jitsu team and has brought with him a wealth of knowledge in so many different aspects of life! He was a lifelong athlete, however after a catastrophic injury his fitness was derailed, and his primary focus became entrepreneurship and later launching his company Elevat. Adam discusses what that path entailed and how he rediscovered health, fitness and grappling later in life! He's an incredible human being and I'm grateful he spent a few hours sharing his wisdom!
