Chris and Bill give their two cents about how you can compete at a high level without being at a top tier famous gym like AOJ, Legion, Daisy Fresh, etc..
Also Chris answers a listener question about nervous system overload and poor sleep.
We also briefly talk about the LMNT "controversy" and Dr. Chris breaks it down.

How to high level at jiu-jitsu without training at a famous gym:

1. Lack in quality can be made up with quantity
2. Compete often
3. Study what the top pros are doing
4. Sacrifice
5. Find a coach that will invest in you
