Musician, teacher, and black belt in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and life philosophy, Ronnie joins us to drop some serious wisdom—and a few opponents. In this episode, he dives into how BJJ and music make each other better (spoiler: it’s not by choking out your students). Ronnie explains his teaching method of scaffolding—basically the educational version of giving you just enough rope to climb, not hang yourself—and why mastering the tiniest details is the key to greatness. His jiu jitsu mantra? Use the least effort possible to dominate and always be cool with losing—zen or sneaky genius? You decide. Plus, he spills the beans on performing at the AFL Grand Final with Robbie Williams and Delta Goodrem, and so much more.
