Rolling With Master Gunz

Today we have another great interview with Ms. Ana Calzada a BJJ Black Belt, UCSD Honors Graduate, Professional Dancer/instructor who has her own class that teaches Dantsu which is a combination of Jiu-Jitsu movements into dance, wow I need to try that class.  She goes into some pretty close to home topics, of PTSD and what she went through and shares some of her life experiences and shares some heart twisting events for the very first time.  I was both humbled and deeply touched that she would choose me to share some of these things with.  I hope you all enjoy the show.

In this episode we kinda go a lil deeper than the normal humor and we do talk about some PTSD issues, but we also have our fun stuff with our crazy questions for Lena which are always great, we get to hear why she went vegan & if she has ever encountered the banana helicopter LOL yes it means, what it means LOL again some adult content in this one but some fun and great stuff as well :)

Today on Rolling with Master Gunz, we get into the scary subject of depression and yes Suicide, it is something not a lot of people talk about but for some people who have faced their demons talking about it can really help someone, especially someone who thinks that they are alone in their fight against depression.  BJJ is for sure one of the best things I have done for myself to help with the fight against depression, and I has helped so many veteran's in their daily battles against depression.  Andy story is that of a young Marine who makes some bad immature decisions that do not help with his depression at all, and finding BJJ and a free 90 pass probably saved his life :)   

Tonight we are going to publish a new segment called ask Lena, There always seems to be some weird off the wall new student or just weird student with a question so we thought why not ask Lena.  We published a request for some questions and we did get a couple of cool ones, so lets see how this thing goes.  Lets Ask Lena :)

Because I got several text asking about a couple of the stories me and Benjie got into during our pre screen call you are putting it up.  Was a fun call, I try and capture the prescreen calls being sometimes there is some great content in these calls and when doing one of the 1st ones I didn't record it so I missed some real passion that was laid down during that call and it sucks when you miss something that is fire!

For out 2nd Episode we have Marine Gunnery Sergeant Benjie Manibog, who is in a transition program pending retirement (TERA) who I met on the mat & yes that is a pretty funny story.  Benjie is a great soul and with an amazing heart couples with a tremendous work ethic!  Not only was he a special Ops MARSOC Marine with Marine Raider Battalion but he recently earned his Masters Degree, started his own Brand "Thrash_N_Raid, hes the president and CEO of the MBV foundation as well as volunteers with youth programs such as "Boys to Men" and even with all of that he finds the time to train BJJ WOW.  There will be some adult content for sure in this episode but lets be real, we are talking with two salty Marines who luv BJJ what else would you expect LOL
