Had a great time doing this with my good friend Namtaow, whom I’ve known for close to 7 years now. It’s amazing to see his growth as a friend, father, doctor and jiu-jitsu practitioner. 

Stuff we talked about: 

• Connecting through BJJ 
• Learning who you are (and who others are from) rolling
• You can’t be the tough guy in jiu-jitsu 
• Giving back to the community
• Gato Studio and jiu-jitsu in Chiang Mai
• Watching everyone grow and get promoted
• The metaphor of BJJ
• Music is for everyone = BJJ is for everyone
• Being remembered in a positive way
• Being a part of everyone’s growth
• Being a good partner 
• Being a responsible higher belt
• Countering the counter
• Struggles through covid
• The importance of finding a good jiu-jitsu community 
• You will never be White Belt again
• Overcoming failure quickily
• There are no lies in jiu-jitsu
• Viewing sparring as a sport 
• Accept the failures and move on
• Everyone lives different lives
• You are important

Thanks for listening,
Aaron
