Xavier Lee joins the Off the Mats Podcast for a conversation about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, competition and the realities of training as a bigger grappler.

Known online as Professor X, Xavier has built a strong presence in the BJJ community by sharing insight on big-man jiu-jitsu, wrestling-style pressure, technical control, and confidence on the mats. In this episode, we talk about his jiu-jitsu journey, what led him to training, how he developed his game, and the lessons he has learned through competition.

We also discuss the difference between using size intelligently and relying on strength, the responsibility of being a good training partner, competing at brown belt, building confidence through jiu-jitsu, and how the lessons from the mats carry into everyday life.

Whether you are a new student, a bigger grappler trying to find your style, a competitor, or someone who loves hearing real stories from the BJJ community, this episode has something for you.
