Amy, a first degree Black Belt, is a breath of fresh air with a novel way to teach classes that we could certainly explore. Workshop Jiu Jitsu teaches students in a very unique way, whereby they learn the gentle art in an ecological way rather than traditional “techniques”. Effectively, they are learning through play.

We also chat about what it’s like being a Mum on the mats, training smarter as an older grappler and more about the Jiu JItsu scene in New Zealand and the beautiful city of Wellington. Don’t miss this episode!

This week’s Roll or Die episode is a first of its kind. Our first Brazilian-based guest and our first with the use of an English translator. For our Portuguese speaking listeners, you're in for a treat but if like our hosts you don't speak the language, you'll have no problems listening to this and picking up words as you go along. From humble beginnings in Brazil to the bright lights of Las Vegas, we hear about a rapid rise from training and into coaching, getting to tournaments with no food or money to building one of the biggest gyms in the area. Fabio is a great story-teller and a man who is helping to build some serious competitors on the mats and in the cage.
