Cauliflower Philosophy

Portuguese version below!

This podcast was made in Portuguese but has subtitles in English now because subtitles in audio podcasts are a hard thing to read we went on to make a whole freaking video! Check it out on marshlands channel https://youtu.be/TEziqi8S2sw and on my own Cauliflower Philosophy YouTube channel. 

Rider Zuchi, one of the world's best Jiu Jitsu athlete in the GI and I discuss various topics related to the sport of BJJ and share their personal experiences and insights.

The podcast is in Portuguese, but has English subtitles, so it's accessible to everyone. Watch this episode and enjoy the in-depth conversations between these two heroes!

I’d like to be thankful. So thank you. 
But wait there is more. 

• Thank you Bouwmeester for making this outrageously clean and beautiful video. 
• Thank you to Matthias from marshlands BJJ that made this all possible and brought us all together. 
• Thanks to my little sis for tirelessly working on translating. You’re nothing without family, as the mafia says. 
• Thank you to Braus and Apex for believing in the cause. You guys inspire me with the belief you have in this! 
• God bless AGA and you all

Versão Brasileira

Rider Zuchi. 

Olha em todo podcast que eu trabalho, aprendo algo novo e interessente que me ensina muito sobre o ser humano. Em especial as conexões que criamos, como damos um  sentido à vida, e, como vivemos. 

Nesse Episódio tive a sorte e o prazer de falar com o Rider e a gente xingou pra caralho…

Na moral, se você não aguenta palavrão,  porra sai daqui. (perdão meu Deus) 

Teve muita risada e muita, mas muita, sabedoria que recebi através das palavras dele. A alegria que ele tem no coração por ter encontrado o jiu-jítsu é contagiante e isso fica nítido nesse podcast. É tão contagiante que no primeiro treino que fiz depois dessa conversa, eu entrei no espirito de treino duro e apanhei mais que o normal! 
(E sabe o que, gostei? Pronto, falei). 

Agradecimento 

•  Obrigado meu Deus pela oportunidade!
•  Quero agradecer também na íntegra a equipe da www.bouwmeestermedia.nl que facilitou a filmagem desse episódio, e que já está disponível no youtube via este link. 
•  Quero transmitir meus agradecimentos  também ao pessoal da Marshlands Jiujitsu.  Os louros são em especial para o professor Matthias que possibilitou o encontro entre a Cauliflower Philosophy e o Rider Zuchi. 

Agora para os amigos que nós patrocinam. 

Braus que tem material de jiu-jítsu simplesmente fantástico de alta qualidade. Eu mesmo sou embaixador para a marca por isso que tô empurrado aqui para vocês. 

Apex tem material excelente voltado para o MMA admiro muito a paixão e a dedicação que eles tem com trabalho deles. Indico muito ( eles também me pagam )

We traversed the Netherlands for this one. From Amsterdam all the way to Breda where I had the opportunity to chop it up with Harun.

Harun is an exceptional human being and amazing coach that I personally enjoyed speaking to a lot! 

 We arrived at the gym to participate in a training with none other then Reinier de Ridder.  The gym which is above a Monkey Town so the first temptation of the day had to be fought of right at arrival.

As we enter we are greeted by a gorilla statue. This set the mood for what was awaiting us inside. The training was awesome and the vibe was amazing and that’s something that added to my interest in the coaches of Combat Brothers!

After the training we had a talk and man there was so much interesting about this man that I immediately  planned a podcast session with him.

I tried to ask the questions that would put into to words that specific vibe you get from an awesome gym and it was a sound succes! Hope you guys enjoy!

Love you all :)

I know, I know, this episode titel sounds like some kind of shamanic power word to get yourself hyped up but, alas, that would be to far from the truth.

Its actually a human ! A superhuman ( all martial artists hold for the marvel-esque status of supernatural ) and this superhuman’s power is his amazing energy !

Guys I cant really breakdown into bits how this episode went. We talked about BJJ, business, the grind of being a martial artist, coaching styles, BJJ techniques and principles and a lot more.

It was an awesome conversation, one that has allowed me to learn about this amazing human being and has brought insight as to how I, Julio, think. This something which has always been the goal of my podcasts: Understanding.

On this fine day my understanding grew thanks to Tum.

I truly hope that this beautiful Coachs mind may also enlighten you on your martial arts journey and realize that it is a necessary tool to have whilst making your way through life.

Fighting is in our nature. Nature is what defines us when we choose to stand and fight. It’s not always  necessarily physical. Let’s say it like this: Every morning when you wake up you choose to go another round, to work your way through this world, to resist the temptation of nothingness and fight for meaning in everything you do and say.

And I am happy to have spoken to a “real one” that also exemplifies this.

Well this is kind of a monologue kind of an appreciation podcast about somebody that helped me a lot. There are many more amazing people in my life.  I was entertaining the thought of of doing some of these podcasts about their story's for a while. Now and you know what lets start with Gijs. 

Now there are some weird injuries you can get in BJJ and some might seem obvious but because you don't hear about them that much they kind of fly under the radar. 

The injury I had was some sort of weird nerve damage because of a failed takedown attempt on my part that resulted in me not being able to feel my hand or arm for a while.

Luckily Gijs came to the rescue and this is me thanking him in the best way I know how to. This man is what I would call the modern day Shaman that walks around through a village and cures everybody with his mastery of pressure point manipulation. Sounds crazy but you know what seeing is believing so reach out to him and you'll see what I mean ! 

Hope you enjoy ! 

Love you all,

Julio Vinke.

Now to the Juicy Part

I speak today to Wim Deputter. Not only is he an example to me of dedication, oh no  he is also a living example walking the path, the "do" if you will, of Martial artists just by the way he lives. From his simple answer on how he got into BJJ to insights on how his life has taken a turn during corona and his view on certain aspects pertaining to grappling and the community. All of it to me is valuable wisdom and i am happy to have talked to him and sad that i wasn't quick enough to setup my recording gadgets to record everything this man said.   

I dont want to give too much away on in the description so i wont. Ill leave you with this , listen and enjoy. There is alot to learn from this man and his mind is truly something awesome to behold.

You can find more about Wim on his Social Media. He also has a bunch off  BJJ FANATICS DVD that you can all find in the links below. 

Big OSS to all you guys and I wish you all the best of the best.

love you all

Saudades,
“sentimento melancólico devido ao afastamento de uma pessoa, uma coisa ou um lugar, ou à ausência de experiências prazerosas já vividas”

Então galera, mais um episódio sobre ter saudades, sentir saudades, lutar contra a saudade... Enquanto estou digitando esse texto, me faz falta o Brasil, mesmo com todos seus problemas e defeitos, faz falta. É o nosso país, pátria amada, é minha casa e onde me sinto bem. Mas, e aí? Tive a oportunidade de vir a Holanda e como ignorar ou deixar passar uma oportunidade dessas? E agora ? E os problemas, que mesmo indo pra longe não foram embora? E essa cultura de pão com queijo e gezellig? E minha família que deixei para traz ? E esse imposto, que além de absurdamente alto, ninguém entende aqui, nem os próprios cabeças de queijo? 

hoje tenho comigo a Ana Cristina Psicóloga que vai ajudar a mim e à vocês entender melhor nosso ser e falar de quem somos e o que sentimos.

In this conversation I speak to Chaim about breathing. You can find him and some of his amazing content on : https://instagram.com/chaimjitsu?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

“As natural as breathing”that's how the saying goes right ? When you do something in such a natural fashion or so easily it feels just like breathing.

Well somehow we fuck up breathing. I mean have you ever seen those videos where bodybuilders or powerlifters lift weights and afterwards they just take a nose dive right into the squat rack? Basically because their brain just said “goodnight”? 

Improper breathing technique and ego lifting will be the death of you. Today, I might be able to help you out with the breathing part. Ego lifting is part of toxic masculinity and I can’t help you with that, consider it a lion a day. 

I went down the rabbit hole of the wonderful world of proper breathing and right down there I met Chaim. Abel’s brother, is also on this path of bettering his breathing and therefore also bettering life. We get a little bit into it and it was an awesome conversation! Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I had fun making it.

Guys this was a great one again, we talked about bjj ( ofcourse ), how to build a following what a man should be and a lot of great topics and ideias. 

one of the major ideias that came to mind after listening to it was.

What constitutes success?

Is it the admiration of many ? building a following ? is it the following of haters ? is it having the spotlight placed upon you?

I think my latest guest constitutes success without having it to be a necessary part of the definition of whom he is.

"That's a lot of big words for somebody that looks like he eats bananas with the skin on  as you do Julio" 

I know ! what I'm saying by this is that Azzi, this truly majestic example of the male specimen, has success as a result of him being who he is and doing what i believe everyman was put on earth to do. To follow your passion, to work hard ( very hard ) , to create space for others to thrive in ( community), and to inspire.

I had an awesome talk with him as we chopped it up and the hours just flew by easily and honestly i cant wait to have another one.

Hope you Guys enjoy !
