Cauliflower Philosophy

So I'm strolling along in a competition in Amsterdam, as i fancy to do every now and then, and wouldn't you know it Marcelo is there walking around form one mat to the other, big smile on his face super energetic having the time of his life. 

First thought was: Dealing in Bjj Gear is a lot happier process then drug dealing, although its basically the same business model its is a nobler ambition in life.
I mean have you ever seen a happy drug dealer on tv ? If you did good for you but ill bet my left nut they weren't as happy as my brother that day! 

Second thing that came to mind was: " is i should have him on the podcast, i mean he is fighting the good fight and out there husslin and training and having a good time at it" 

So i talked to him and he was up for it and man what an awesome conversation we had. I mean downright felt like i was chopping it up with an old friend. 

The knowledge he passed on and the drive he has in life is downright inspiring and I'm super happy that this conversation is recorded for the future generations.  

I'm also happy to announce that after our talk ill be working together with Braus in exchange for free diplomatic passage to Australia and other country's that fall under Australian jurisdiction. I also required a pet Emu and I'm happy to say negotiations are going well. 

So if you like koalas, BJJ , good gear , happiness, children's smiles, good advice, home cooking and all that good stuff then this is the podcast for you and this is the gear for you. 

now if you don't love all these things then this podcast is for you adn this BJJ Gear Brand aswell.

Who in their right mind goes to Brasil ( correct spelling ) lives in a favela, trains jiujitsu all day ?

Ill tell you who right now. Clifford Edwards. I found his bio on his website and nothing i write down will do justice to the way this man presents himself, check it. 

My name is Clifford Edwards. I am a Black belt BJJ under Augusto Ferrari. I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 15 years. I have trained and travelled all over the world. Learning, training and studying with the Greats. Such as Cicero Costa, Mauricio Cristo, Tiago Barros, The Miyao Brothers and many more. From Brazil, Switzerland, to all the way in The United Emirates and now based in The Netherlands. I’ve come a long way and am very excited to share my knowledge with the world!

Listen I have a bunch of amazing podcasts sessions where I have deep conversations about people and the lives they live.

But this one i connected with, like a fat kid with cake. What an amazing life journey Clifford has had and im so happy i can share his journey with you right now.

I sit down with Daniel de Groot.... again ... and what a great pleasure it always is ! 

So what else is there to know ? So..so.. much! This time our conversation went deeper, longer and harder than before. 

Stop giggling you bunch of twelve year old's…

I know that might sound dirty to you, but I can assure you it was a very pleasant and lovely experience (and PG12 rated).

We talked about different training methods, the actual use of BJJ, why take it up to begin with, and other such inquiries that go beyond your simple questions about technique. 

I absolutely believe that movement and training are essencial to one’s existence and growth. Yeah guys, I went there, lifting is part of life bros, (lifting bros too). 
Punching and kicking stuff is necessary, as are strangling and taking down things. 

With that in mind, thank you so much Daniel for stopping by and indulging us. 

Oss meu irmão 

Big OSS to all !

Episodio em Ingles versão Portuguesa ( brasil ) em breve 
 
Our guests today are : Astrid and Anne Marie

Ah the dreaded GGD 

To the point where every person living in the Netherlands knows and fears de GGD, or at least has cussed them out a couple of times. 

But why we got to be so rude? Don’t we know they are humans too? Don’t they share in the same afflictions as we do? Well on this fine day I had the pleasure of having tea and a chat with two of the loveliest specimens the GGD had to offer, to talk about stuff that, at some point in the last 2 years, has made us terribly upset. Not the kind of upset that can be cured with some food, a nap and a cuddle. Oh no no no, we are talking about deep civil unrest. 

Who is to blame during a pandemic? Bats? Batman ? The Chinese black market ? Putin? Is there any blame to be slathered? Aren’t  we all just bamboozled with everything that is happening?

Well, to begin with, part of this podcast stands as a monument to what Corona is and isn’t and what Vaccines do and don’t do. 

and i would like to thank to two very special guests I had the pleasure of hosting, who graciously gave me their time to adress the bumbling baboon questions I had. I felt like a lesser primate in their presence and yet they treated me as their equal. 
Amazingly patient people. Such wow. 

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Companheiros e companheiras hoje vamos falar sobre a eleição

sim já se passaram 4 anos (para aonde o tempo voa ne? ) , 

é uma obrigação é um privilégio e acima de tudo é um direito pois o direito de votar é seu direito de reclamar. 

Além de ajudar a decidir em que direção política e ideológica o nosso país vai você também acaba mantendo seu documento de eleição regularizado e não serás punido com inúmeras chatices burocráticas. 

Eu to ligado, você não precisa fazer parte do circo político para ter seu documento eleitoral em dia maaaaaaaaaaaaaas você precisa justifica por que você não quer fazer parte do circo político,

Agora simplesmente anunciar que você não acredita na falsa democracia estabelecida pela patriacha ou que esta de mal com o Brasil e não quer votar , não será o suficiente. 

Responderemos a perguntas como: 

“Quais são as punições ?”

“Aonde que eu pago minhas pendências ?”

Espero que isso ajude vocês a entender melhor um pouco melhor o que se deve fazer para obter e manter seus documentos de eleição.

Beijo no coração

Fala pessoal !
Deu errado, voce chego na Europa como turista e resolveu ficar passando do seu prazo legal de viver aqui e agora? Voce anda se escondendo da policia, inseguro, com medo, trabalhando e morando sem contrato e por isso sem estabilidade.

Aqui vou compartilhar com vocês um pedaço transcrito da conversa que eu tive com a maravilhosa Jade que trabalha com assistência aos brasileiros no consulado.

"Não só podem como devem. Existe um stigma grande com as pessoas que vivem ilegalmente,
mas o Consulado Geral atende todos os cidadãos, sejam brasileiros residentes legalmente, sejam
aqueles vivendo sob o radar, sejam estrangeiros com RNE, pais de filhos brasileiros e mesmo os
que vão perder a nacionalidade."

Nao continue vivendo assim. voce merece mais que isso. 

O Consulado esta aqui para te ajudar e se precisar de um serviço de Despachante entre em contato com a Accompanied Services. Eles com certeza vão poder te ajudar a ter uma direção e resolver qualquer documentação que voce precisar. 

beijo no coração

Beijo no Coração

YOYOYO New year new podcast ambitions and this year we are starting up things the right way ! From Monkeys ripping off dicks to beggars shuffles, to turtle positions, swords and shields. Raoul has answers to questions you didn't even know you had.

Raoul a brown belt under the mad scientist Priit Mikhelson  has started up his own gym, tribe grappling, in Almere and is also one of the head coaches in 10thplanet Amsterdam. He has two Instructional DVDs out right now that you can find in the links below and they are awesome sauce game changers . Lately he has been doing the rounds on your favorite social media platform because he just started pulling turtle guard on innocent , unsuspecting victims in a grappling tournament ( video is linked on his Instagram and frankly almost everywhere go look at it cause its the most entertaining shit I have seen in a while).
 
As usual I had a blast speaking to him and if it where up to me we would still be going. Its just always inspiring to talk to somebody that loves martial arts and is evolving the game like he is. I hope you guys enjoy listening to this as much as I have enjoyed making this together with our awesome guest and Ondrej the unsung hero and driving force behind cauliflower.

E lá vamos nós novamente galera, e vou falar pra vocês, e o episode de hoje é pra novela! 

Minha gente que história! Que mulherão! Que viagem (ou devo dizer voyage 🥖🇫🇷?) , não só atravessando os continentes, mas a própria vida também. 

Conheci a Dudu, rainha do Rio, na nossa base, a Company of Friends, e antes de tudo trocamos aquela ideia por telefone aonde eu percebi: preciso convidar ela o mais rapido possivel para fazer um entrevista. 

Mas então, não quero apressar demais as coisas, tampouco entregar demais desse episódio. Resumindo então :

Dudu nasceu e nunca soube bem de onde veio e quem foram seus pais, foi adotada por pais japoneses, e um belo dia foi se aventurar nos canais de Amsterdã como,  dançarina.  Sua história e familiar foi contada diversas vezes em épocas diferentes e por várias  vozes differentes, mas é única em sua essência. 

Então, pega o pannetone, prepara o Nescau e se deliciem no doce néctar dessa história, um presente de Natal adiantado. 

Se liga nessa viagem ou devo dizer , voyage. 

Aaaand here we are once again boys and girls, and let me tell ya, this one is one for the books! 

Guys (and gals) what a story !What a woman ! What a trip( or should I say what a voyage?) not only through a myriad of countries, but through life itself! 

I met Dudu, 'the queen of Rio' at our headquarters, Company of Friends , and beforehand we had a little talk. 

Most of what I had heard about Dudu came from stories and the stories were of the kind featured in an Al Pacino movie. Now I don't want to sweeten you up too much, neither do I want to spoil anything so in short:

Dudu was born without knowing where she is from. A beautiful mulata princess adapted in brazil by a Japanese family who ended up cruising the mean old canals of the Netherlands, dancing through it all as, you guessed it, a Dancer. Her story has been told by different mouths in different years, it’s one of many but unique in its own way. 

Grab you candy canes and suck on the sweet dregs of a juicy story,  cause Christmas came early! Sails are set for a voyage like no other.

OshiMoshi to all you beautiful listeners. Its been a while, actually no, its been too damn long. I know, I know,I know….We shouldn't have left you in the dark for so long.
 But in the dark we have been planning, working, plotting and colluding to bring you loyal folk something special. Through our podcasts, we always envisioned the goal  to portray fighting and life, and life and fighting, plus how the lessons taught and learned in one of these elements can be used to your benefit in the other. Now, the following podcast does seem to deviate a bit from the original idea and format we usually present to you. This special edition podcast is more about migrants and immigration, the call of the unknown, the venturing into the sea and beyond the horizon. The restless gypsy soul that, somewhere deep down, resides in all of us. A beautiful Voyage. The beaches, the excitement, the newness. 
And yet, nothing could be further from the truth. There is always an internal struggle between two evils; A fight with oneself and with the new environment one finds him or herself to be in. Wether it’s the new country which has yet to be explored and understood,  or the heartache for our familiar home that we with leave behind. How do you grapple with yourself? How do you defend yourself from the blows that come from within ? How do you rise above it ? How do we all learn to live with this?The podcast has been done in Portuguese, why? Well, first off, because Joquebed (our dear guest) is a full blood and pure Brazilian and the message she had to bring is for Brazilians that are living abroad. Not only is the message inspiring and insightful, the warmth and familiarity with which Jô speaks is heartwarming at the very least.
We sincerely hope you enjoy our Podcast.

Queridos e queridas! Saudades de vocês meus caríssimos ouvintes e seguidores. Já faz algum tempinho… Mentira, faz uma eternidade e já sei, já sei… Não deveríamos ter deixado vocês no silencio. Mas,porém, todavia, por trás do palco trabalhamos, planejamos, fizemos conluios e armamos algo especialmente pra vocês; o estimado público brasileiro (ou lusófono). 
Através dos nossos podcasts, sempre almejamos o objetivo de representar a luta (como esporte) e a vida, e vice versa e como as lições ensinadas e recebidas em alguma dessas áreas, pode ser utilizada pra beneficiar a outra. Ergo; como as lições da luta ajudam na vida e como as lições da vida, ajudam na luta. Então, nosso seguinte podcast tomou um rumo um tanto diferente do nosso roteiro normal. Esta edição especial trata mais de migração, migrantes, o chamado ao desconhecido, o mergulho no escuro, e a viagem além do horizonte.  A alma cigana que, no fundo, vive em todos nós. Sempre parece um voyage francês, as praias, a novidade.E no entanto, nada poderia ser mais distante da realidade. Sempre há uma batalha interna  entre dois males; uma luta contra o “eu” e a nova realidade onde você se encontra. Seja num novo país que ainda deve ser conhecido e compreendido, ou aquela dor no peito pelo nosso lar que deixamos com a nossa palavra única: saudade. 
Como você luta com você mesmo ? Como você se defende de socos e pontapés que vem de dentro? Como aprendemos a viver com a saudade ?O podcast foi feito em português por que ? Nossa querida e amada Joquebede, é brasileira de corpo e alma e sua mensagem é para brasileiros vivendo no exterior. Suas mensagens não são somente inspiradores e perspicaz, o seu jeito caloroso e familiar aquece o coração e da uma sensação de acolhimento.
Esperamos de coração que gostem do nosso podcast!
