This episode is a bit of a departure from our typical format which warrants an introduction to the introduction, let me explain. Jon and Travis from "The Elbows Tight Podcast" were kind enough to have me on their show for a really fun and engaging conversation. I hope this is the first of many collaborations in the future with these kindred spirits.

"Adolfo hosts Forever White Belt's trailblazing podcast and is (as of this recording) a two-stripe blue belt under Tryfon Stathopoulos at North Bay Jiu-Jitsu.

Adolfo's story is incredibly relatable to many practitioners. His journey began in his early 40s, but he had to take a 4-year hiatus due to some serious medical problems. Finally, after recovering, working his way back, and moving out of San Francisco, Adolfo started looking for another academy to train at.

Like many of our stories, Adolfo found himself "doing drive-bys past academies" with his toes hanging over the edge of jumping back into the cosmos of jiu-jitsu. He would finally take the leap of faith and stopped procrastinating when a school was located within a few minutes from his work.

Adolfo is very open and vulnerable about his struggles with self-doubt, difficulties learning and retaining information, and not being "that guy" in class asking too many questions. He puts it all out there for people to relate and find common ground in their journies to his.
