Show Notes – Episode 4 – January 19, 2020
What do you tell a fighter who is sleepwalking through a fight, has likely lost every round, and is about to enter the final round?
How do you control the fight-or-flight response, the overreactions and wasted nervous energy and fear that sabotage your performances in training and competition?
How do you learn to channel energy that general society regards as negative such as anger, aggression and hostility?
In this fun and fast-paced episode, the Everyman BJJ trio takes aim at questions that shadow many combat sports athletes. They also discuss:
The brilliant simplicity of the legendary Leo Vieira;
What does Jiu Jitsu mean to you in terms of therapy, life education, sport, healthy lifestyle and beyond?;
How Brazil’s Diego Ferreira, a BJJ black belt wizard coming off a huge win over former UFC champ Anthony Pettis, is starting to look like the second coming of Demian Maia (but with even better hands);
How Jiu Jitsu academies tend to self police themselves and manage diversity much better than societal institutions that often heavily rely on political correctness, laws and regulations to try and integrate diverse demographics;
Everyman BJJ’s Noah Green attempts to define “The Savage,” a word that is complimentary to some, cold-hearted to others;
The frenetic, high-anxiety fighting style of Holly Holm (which usually ends up being highly effective for the 38-year-old former world champion);
The fighters of Brazilian bloodline who literally fight like their dinner depends on the outcome, as if “There is no Plan B” for them.
