The Fight Team Podcast

In Part II of my Immigration Series, I ask all liberals and conservative voters to expand their thought process, understanding that not all undocumented immigrants are good and that not all immigrants are bad.

In this episode, I shared my personal opinion on how the #stayhome trend can be extremely inconsiderate towards low-income people. Unfortunately, some ideologies have been pushing an agenda that doesn't fit our real life.

This is the first episode of The Grey Matter Project. This project is an initiative to promote positive and balanced discussions about many different issues related to our lives today.

In this first episode of the Immigration series, I go over the 4 categories of Immigration Status in the USA. Also, I break down briefly the many different types of visas.

We always mention that The Fight Team Podcast is about all fights we can face in life. That's a way to embrace a true Martial Arts Lifestyle.

In this episode, we were joined by U.S. Marine Corps Captain, BJJ Practitioner Melissa Cooling and one of our Co-Hosts BJJ 1st Degree Black Belt Silvia Mondelli

We started a long discussion about the effects of any world crisis in our lives and how to better prepare for them.

Very special episode with two amazing ladies that have started a great movement within the BJJ Community.

Girls With Grips was created by Kate Smith and Missy Loschiavo with the goal of gathering more female practitioners in a women's only type of cross-training session. 

We discussed many other side topics related to Women's BJJ. We also believe that they will be frequent guests in our show.

It takes one courage, a great passion for martial arts, and humbleness to, after reaching a high level in one art, still look for other disciplines to master.

Many of us can get too comfortable after mastering an art. The idea is: why not keep learning and evolving?

In this episode, I talked to Terry Gruel. An amazing Karateka that never stopped working on himself even after mastering his art and achieving many titles in competitions.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been spreading around the country but for years many BJJ enthusiasts could not find a school with a black belt professor teaching nearby.

Some found an association that provided a good and solid structured system where remote students could still evolve and progress. However, we all know that learning from videos only is not ideal, legit, and how BJJ is supposed to be taught and learned.

We are bringing to you, first hand, this super cool new format for BJJ and Grappling Super Fights that Gaman BJJ will promote soon.

Besides the regular Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments that Gaman has been organizing, we came up with this super amazing format:

Also, we explained the reasons why we decided to create  Gaman BJJ Championships. 

We believe that we will transform the Super Fights Events scene. Our format is unique! The first event already in the makings.

Luigi Mondelli here... This is a different type of episode. For a while, I have been compiling my ideas gathered through many years of training with different coaches in martial arts and other related combatives training. I decided to make a personal episode since The Fight Team Podcast is my way to reach out to my students and friends. 

My goal was just to share my mindset and not try to lecture anyone. But pretty much that is the mindset applied to the classes I am starting to teach in Danbury, CT.

In this episode, we reviewed some official numbers from researches and we added to the discussion, our experiences as parents and martial arts coaches. In this episode, Missy LoSchiavo, an educational psychologist joined us along with Professor Chris Smith from IMBCT Martial Arts.

In Part II we elaborated a little more adding to the discussion a mental health professional approach.
