Nathan Orchard is a 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Eddy Bravo. He started his grappling journey through wrestling for 11 years before transitioning over to MMA. As a professional MMA fighter, Nathan had 21 fights before retiring. For his first 10 pro fights, Nathan had no formal training in martial arts. After losing close fights to either better wrestlers or strikers, he said he decided to take his training more seriously and find some coaching.

Before recording the podcast, Nathan hosted a seminar centered around the basics of leg lock entries. During his instruction, Nathan talks philosophically about positions, movement, and how everything ties back into BJJ. He preaches that movement is movement, and the only thing that changes the movement is the application.

Nathan's journey through BJJ is not like many others. Because of that, his story is captivating and inspiring to anyone who trains alone or who is insecure about their abilities. His mindset towards being a BJJ practitioner is; Think Street, Train Sport, and Practice Art.

Be sure to grab a pencil and some paper because Nathan's conversation is one you will want to come back to over and over again.
