WOW! We had so much fun this week with female BJJ super star Dominyka Obelenyte, she is a multiple time IBJJF World Champion at weight and absolute.  Dominyka took a large portion of her day to travel out to us and we thank her for that, in addition she was a playful guest joining in on our banter and bickering perfectly seeming as if it was rehearsed.  She has some unique PERSPECTIVES and her own thoughts on mentoring.  We hear some interesting thoughts on training as a woman, a child, and what training in healthy mixed gender classes can bring to BJJ.  We had so much fun and hope to hear that she starts her own podcast in the future, we guarantee at least 2 listeners if she follows through.  Check it out and give us your thoughts on BJJ super star Dominyka Obelenyte.  Be sure to also check out our sponsor http://corebjjnj.com

This week Ed and Dave travel to NYC to sit down with Black Belt Phenom Roberto Jimenez.  Roberto was very generous with his time and as you will hear in this interview he carries this mentality to all aspects of life.  Roberto hopes to bring equality to all and to help the less fortunate using BJJ as a catalyst.  We talk about a variety of topics from training both physically and mentally, to what it means to be a professional athlete.  We also get to hear how Roberto will defeat or dance on Ed in our upcoming video series, TappEd.  We look forward to watching Roberto grow into a great ambassador of our sport and can't wait to have him back again.
