This week, we're joined by Stephan Kesting! In this episode, Stephan teaches the Kimura as both a submission and a positional system: its ancient origins, key positional variations, and how it functions as a control framework rather than just a finishing move. Topics include finishing mechanics, leverage physics, the "fat old lazy man" Kimura, and Kesting's new instructional, The Kimura Roadmap.Follow Stephan Kesting on Instagram:https://instagram.com/stephan_kestingLearn online with Stephan at Grapplearts:https://grapplearts.comResources discussed in this episode:The Kimura Roadmap, by Stephan Kestinghttps://grapplearts.com/kimuraThe Near Side Kimura, A Forgotten Positionhttps://youtu.be/62oLRT_Sar4The Lazy, Old, Fat Man Kimurahttps://youtu.be/29JtQffs-yASubmission as Position, feat.

Let's challenge some stereotypes by dissecting this "10 Harsh Masculine Truths" post and reframing toxic masculinity as an issue of individual character. Through stoic principles, we emphasize humility, resilience, and genuine strength over cynicism or bravado. Shifting to the life in the Dojo, we explore the true meaning of earning a Blackbelt, not as an end goal but as the beginning of lifelong learning, teaching, and humility. We discuss aging as a martial artist and the importance of inclusivity and respect within the community. Finally, we unpack emotional authenticity in men, using the “crayon box” metaphor to encourage a broader range of expression, touching on gaming, comics, and other outlets that reveal how growth and effort define real strength.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:04) - Unpacking Masculine Truths and Toxicity(0:21:33) - Exploring the Meaning of Black Belts(0:35:11) - Defining Masculinity Through Warrior Image(0:53:06) - Navigating Performative Masculinity Challenges(0:58:13) - Navigating Male Coping Mechanisms and EgoSend us a text

Many don't know that he worked for the government for years before cashing in his retirement to dedicate his life fully to Jiu-Jitsu — to teaching, training, and helping others grow.I'm truly grateful for his friendship, loyalty, and all he's done to help build Legacy into what it is today.

If you've never seen G.I. Jane, you might know it as a punchline, an epithet, or shorthand for a certain kind of movie -- or a certain kind of woman. But watching G.I. Jane in 2025, you see a portrait of fierce tenacity and genuine strength, all baked into a Ridley Scott action war drama. Actor Katy O'Brian -- who is absolutely on fire right now, and the list of things you'd know her from grows ever longer -- saw in Demi Moore's character, Jordan, a rare glimpse of something she recognized in herself. She's a character who pulls no punches, deserves her place among the boys, and commands respect just by being true to her goals and skills. She and Jordan get into all that, plus some of Katy's recent work, especially Maintenance Required and Queens of the Dead.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a new Tubi original from Danishka Esterhazy, MATCH. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

Rob Anderson is an award-winning youth strength and conditioning coach with over 15 years of experience developing young athletes across schools, academies, and national governing bodies. He spent five years with Scottish Rugby as the Lead Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Under 16, 17 and 18 National Teams as well as coaching emerging youth talent at the Borders & East Lothian and Caledonia Regional Academies. Rob then founded The Athlete Academy with the mission to provide world-class athletic development and coaching for young athletes. His dedication to improving youth athletic development is reflected in his recognition as the 2024 UKSCA Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year for Youth Sport. A leading voice in LTAD, Rob also mentors practitioners through Collaborate Sports, helping coaches implement best practices in clubs, schools, and private sectors. QUOTES “It's not uncommon for guys and girls to be growing seven to 12 centimeters in a year. That's a huge physiological change. It's not uncommon during peak weight velocity for guys to be stacking on 10 kilos in a year. That's a huge physiological change. So in some ways, the training programs that we are putting on adult athletes, we know there's a level of adaptation that's going to change physiologically but we're probably getting the greatest physiological change during that period of adolescence, both for male and female athletes, with training”. “If it works with kids, it works with adults but not the other way around” "And sometimes it's going to be a bit deceptive for youth athletes because you might think, well, actually we've not changed training load. Like they're doing exactly what they were doing last year. But actually, last year they weren't in their peak high velocity and now they are. And so maybe their sensitivity has increased and that workload that was previously okay is actually now too much. And we just need to be smart about how we decrease that" “So we need enough calories for the usual resting metabolic rate plus growth. Then what fuelling do we need for athletic endeavors? You know, it tends to be a lot more than parents think in terms of what the requirement actually is. And that's why, you know, it's not uncommon for athletes to be tired and under fueled because they don't realize that how much their calorie requirements are going through that period of training and growing.” “I actually really love martial arts for an LTAD environment, because I think it's actually way more organic. You go into a Jiu-Jitsu class, for example, it's not all the white belts in one room or the brown belts in another room or the blue. It's like combined different ages, different experience levels. And it's actually a really quality LTAD experience and I've kind of borrowed from that.” SHOWNOTES 1) Rob's progression in youth strength and conditioning, from his own experience to Scotland national youth rugby teams to opening Athlete Academy 2) Fundamentals of youth strength & conditioning and dispelling old youth training myths 3) The impact of peak height velocity on different growth related conditions like Osgood Schlatters 4) The difference between peak height velocity and peak weight velocity 5) Organizing training and adaptation aims (e.g., neural vs hypertrophy) around pre, circa, and post pre height velocity 6) The parent as the head of performance for the youth athlete 7) The intake process at the Athlete Academy and putting youth athletes into the right level of a curriculum 8) Micro-dosing different tests across different weeks 9) Addressing parent questions about what their kid needs and the value of unilateral work PEOPLE MENTIONED Avery Faigenbaum Kelvin Giles Dan Baker Rhodri Lloyd John Oliver Shane Fitzgibbon James Baker Angela Jackson Mike Boyle Frans Bosch

In this week's Five Minute Friday, I open up about a recent injury—ACL tear, tibial fracture, and torn meniscus—all discovered after I finished competing in a major Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament. But this episode isn't about sympathy. It's about acceptance. Because just like seasons, hardship is a non-negotiable part of growth—in life, in leadership, and especially in orthodontics.You don't get to pick only the victories and skip the failures. You don't get spring without winter. Whether your practice is struggling to hit monthly goals, you're recovering from personal loss, or you're simply tired of grinding—this episode is a heartfelt reminder that attitude does affect altitude. If you can face the hard days with perspective and resilience, you'll come back stronger every time.QUOTES“Every year there's been a spring, followed by a summer, then autumn, then winter. You don't get to say, ‘I'll take 3 springs, 2 summers, and no winters.' Life doesn't work that way.” — Jim Rohn“Attitude affects altitude. You can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you respond.” — Captain Dennis FitchKey TakeawaysIntro + Personal story: Torn ACL, broken tibia, and Jiu Jitsu lessons (00:00)Jim Rohn's “seasons of life” and what they mean for orthodontists (02:30)The myth of “all wins, no pain” in parenting, practice, or business (03:45)Dealing with missed goals, bad days, and cancelled appointments (05:30)FBI kicking down the door = actual worst case… everything else? Manageable (06:50)Captain Denny Fitch: “Attitude affects altitude” (08:30)“Find out before you freak out” — how to manage stress wisely (10:00)Final message: Winter always comes… but so does spring (11:30)Additional ResourcesI've seen firsthand how mindset—not tools or tactics—is what separates thriving orthodontists from burned-out ones.If you're in a winter season, you're not alone.

Have you ever listened to an argument and felt that something was wrong, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it? You're not alone. Persuasive rhetoric often uses well-known tricks—intellectual sleights-of-hand called logical fallacies—to bypass your reasoning and win you over with flawed logic. In this episode, we go on the offensive. Consider this your first lesson in intellectual Jiu-Jitsu. We will expose the dark arts of persuasion by creating a field guide to the most common logical fallacies you encounter every day. By learning to name these traps, you'll learn to neutralize them, empowering you to engage in more honest, productive conversations and protect yourself from manipulation. In this episode, you'll learn to identify: The Art of Distraction:How to spot a Straw Man, an Ad Hominem attack, and a Red Herring from a mile away. The Logic That Isn't:Why the Slippery Slope, the Hasty Generalization, and the False Cause fallacy are so deceptive and how to dismantle them. How to Respond Productively:Go beyond just pointing out fallacies and learn how to gently guide conversations back to a logical and constructive path.
