The reality is, not all teammates like each other. Sometimes tensions flare and two athletes who train with each other nearly come to blows ... Here is the story of myself and fellow BJJ black belt Sean Spangler. It’s a fascinating look inside an Old School way of handling things ... a street code where you might battle someone but then Squash It. By no means am I glorifying violence — far from it — but I’ve witnessed so much violence in my lifetime ... and here are some of the key lessons learned from street fights, gym fights, teammate tensions, etc..

What's it like to be a hostage negotiator and investigate homicides in Las Vegas? How can you be a captive audience to so much violence and bloodshed yet protect your sanity and still see the glass as 1/2 full? In Episode 4, LifeJitsu's Frank Forza introduces you to life through the seen-it-all eyes of Tom Monahan (now the NHL Security Representative for the Las Vegas Golden Knights).

Cindy Mahealani is a fascinating woman, the kind of effervescnet person you meet and instantly wonder, "How'd she get so darn happy?" An encylopedia of the human body and its many functions, Sellers has hosted more than 60,000 colon cleanses at her Angel Farms estate in Hawaii. The average person, she says, loses between 7-14 pounds of gook, poo, parasites and worms that have been backed up in their colon. This major backup of poo leaves precious clues about each person and offers a fantastic opportunity to answer the question: "What should we really be eating and drinking?" Ms. Sellers, author of the book "You Don't Have To Hurt Anymore," is overflowing with positive vibes and provocative theories about unconventional paths to healing. She's an incredibly unique character, a brilliant mind, and she literally blew me away over the course of our 3-hour covnersation. What should we be eating? Are coconut and olive oils good for you? Sellers' theories about how to heal are riveting.

How much fruit is too much fruit? I think about this question a lot. Have spent hours researching it, past year experimenting with different quantities of fruit — even interviewed my good friend Ken Murray about “The Life of A Fruitarian” and what it’s like to live off 10-15 pounds of fruit per day! (To listen to this episode on my LifeJitsu podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/lifejitsu-art-of-life/id1370299516?mt=2&i=1000411256951 ). “Can you eat too much fruit?” Is an important rabbit hole and piece of your nutritional lifestyle.

Talking (de)hydration, bodyfat percentages, the genius of Floyd Mayweather Jr., Roy Jones Jr., legendary UFC VP Marc Ratner and the "Is a college degree worth it?" With Bernard Preston, a former Division I basketball player and amateur boxer who followed in his mother's footsteps and works with disabled veterans and people with special needs.

Frank Forza, hungry for supreme Age Defiance and Disease Defense, has more than 32 years in the weight loss, weight management and nutrition space. The decorated Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt talks the Keto Diet, veganism, and why neither has won his endorsement.

Luiz Oliveira didn't start his first business until age 50; now this late-blooming entrepreneur is taking the Las Vegas coffeehouse scene by storm. LifeJitsu's Frank Forza goes one-on-one with the Brazil-born brainiac who is redefining the coffee experience with a unqiue blend of Latin American sizzle and chic. What's the future of coffee? There are big changes on the horizon for the world's third-largest commodity (growing like wildfire in Asia, by the way). Oliveira, whose great grandfather ran a coffee farm, brings you up to speed on how fermentation is going to revolutionize the quality and taste of coffee.

Took me darn near 18 months but I finally caught up with Dr. Brooke Conway Kleven, a Las Vegas-based (married) mother of two, studying for her second doctorate, who is armed with amazing optimism and mental toughness as she heals from multiple brain surgeries and life-threatening complications that mystified doctors for most of the past decade. All at the tender age of 28. If you're looking for inspiration, zest for life and a Fighting Spirit, then you've come to the right place. Dr. Conway-Kleven has already survived a stroke and embodies the "one day at a time" wisdom. She is a super-determined odds-defyer, a woman who realized conventional medicine did not have all the answers and solutions to her medical problems -- so this gritty brainiac took matters into her own hands, became a relentless researcher and seeker of off-the-beaten path solutions. We talk about the "WHY" that fuels her, the prescription opiod epidemic in the U.S., the future of Functional Medicine, mindset and so mu
