I discuss my last 2 competitions in Washington and Oregon, and contrast my game day experiences and rituals. I also share some fun stories, give some tips on how to boost your confidence when it really matters, a...

2025/01/29

One of the lowest hanging fruit you can obtain to live a happier and more productive life is to practice gratitude every day. We go through life taking some of our most precious things for granted; our jobs, health, and families. Being grateful for what you have is something we can all do a bit better. They say the grass is always greener on the other side, and this is profoundly accurate. Episode topics are avoiding grudges, the importance of setbacks, bullying and social hierarchy, using gr...

This week’s episode is all about the importance of good posture. I first define what posture is, and then I discuss the difference between concave and convex posture, how different scenarios require different postures, and how you can manage the distance and self-frame your guard using a convex posture. The self-framing method will help you retain your supine guard and form better connections to your opponent with your legs. Other topics discussed are scaling back training as we age (while st...

When we begin a new skill, we never really know where to focus our learning. In a systems-based activity like Jiu Jitsu, as beginners, we need to know where to first focus our attention.

Also, I discuss my experience competing last weekend at The Revolution in Puyallup, Washington… spoiler alert; I hurt myself. I talk about my...
