In this episode of the Dubai Dads Podcast, we sit down with João Garcia, head coach of Palm Jiu Jitsu and father, to talk about the powerful overlap between martial arts and fatherhood.

João shares his journey as a lifelong martial artist, coach, and divorced dad, opening up about the challenges of parenting, staying present, and putting his daughter first. We also dig into why BJJ is a confidence-building tool for kids, why dads need to be capable of protecting their families, and the importance of patience and quality time.

Dubai Dads is a podcast and community for fathers everywhere — a place to laugh, vent, share advice, and get better at this whole parenting thing.
