On the 86th episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet show, I talk to Jiu-Jitsu black belt and world class competitor Andrew Tackett.

Starting Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 6 gave Andrew a different experience of life. Instead of growing up in the traditional system, he grew up competing and learning how to be a ninja.

In this interview, we dive into how a lifetime of BJJ training has helped Andrew's life off the mats. We also discuss his spiritual life and hear about the ways that Andrew feels God is using Jiu-Jitsu to help humanity.

Andrew is one of the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes of his generation and it was great to get to speak with him about these more esoteric or ethereal concepts. We dove deep down the rabbit hole and got to hear some wisdom from this young phenom.

On the 85th episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet show, I talk to Jiu-Jitsu black belt, coach, and the owner of Grappling Concepts in Nixa, Missouri: Jacob Ritchie.

Jacob first fell in love with the martial arts as a way to help his mental health and his life off the mats. He immediately saw the benefits in training and jumped into the early mixed martial arts (MMA) scene in the midwest.

Over time, Jacob moved into coaching athletes and developing others. He is now the head coach and owner at Grappling Concepts in Nixa, Missouri. Known for its world class wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu programs, Grappling Concepts is a high level training facility that creates winners.

In this episode, we talk about how training in martial arts has helped Jacob change his life off the mats. We discuss all the ways Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling can help others and why it has been so important for Jacob's kids as they have matured.

On the 84th episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet show, I talk to former MMA fighter and wrestler Roy Koyama about the work he is doing to make wrestling more accessible to the next generation.

Roy first fell in love with the martial arts after training with the Machado brothers back in the early days of the UFC and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu first arriving in the USA.

Eventually making his way into mixed martial arts (MMA), Roy fought in the cage to test himself and improve as a martial artist.

Later in life, Roy would return to martial arts as a way to help his sons in their maturity.

In this episode, we talk about how wrestling helped Roy and his sons improve their mental health and life off the mats. We discuss what combat sports like wrestling can do to help young kids develop into amazing adults.

Roy also shares about the non-profit he recently started to help make wrestling more accessible to kids around the world - starting in his home of Springfield Missouri.

On the 82nd episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet show, I talk to BJJ legend and 3rd degree black belt Kit Dale.

Kit Dale received his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in only four years. This achievement makes him one of the fastest individuals to ever earn a black belt in the martial art.

Not only did he achieve his black belt in a remarkable amount of time, but he backed it up with wins in high level tournaments. Kit racked up an impressive amount of wins in between 2013-2017. He made his way to the ADCC world championships after a win at the Japanese ADCC Trials in 2017.

After his time of competing in high level grappling events, Kit decided to make a career change.

Kit wants to associate the "Kit Dale" brand with film making, rather than Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He now spends most of his days writing and working on his latest screenplay.

Wanting to give back to the Jiu-Jitsu community, Kit has designed a program to help BJJ practitioners level up their game using some of the methods he has developed over the years.

In his latest course, Kit introduces the concept that playing "task based games" is better than the standard way that Jiu-Jitsu classes drill and practice.

On this episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet show, we talk about why drilling in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is useless and why playing games is a better way to actually learn and develop.

We also talk about how training in BJJ has helped Kit's mental health and what principles he feels writing, film-making, and martial arts have in common.

On the 81st episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet show, I get to chat with 10th planet Jiu-Jitsu black belt PJ Barch.

PJ grew up training in wrestling and found it to be a fantastic outlet for himself as a child. Dealing with bullying growing up, PJ was left feeling insecure in his ability to defend himself. After training in wrestling, this changed.

Years later, now a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu under the legendary Eddie Bravo, PJ has gone onto become one of the best grapplers on planet earth.

In this episode, PJ Barch shares his journey from an insecure young kid into a veteran of ADCC, Quintet, and some of the toughest grappling events in the world.

We talk about the lessons he has learned from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling and we dive into how competing in high level tournaments like ADCC impacted his mental health.

PJ gets vulnerable in this conversation and shares about the difficulties he has had with OCD and addiction. If you or someone you know has struggled with this before, make sure you watch and share this episode.

Thank you to PJ Barch for sharing his story and helping us better understand how combat martial arts influence mental health and life off the mats.
