I get a little impassioned in this episode as it all happened very recently and from those who should definitely know better!

Sometimes time based promotions can be not all that great. I talk about how we use it only as a guideline and also include other factors in promoting students.

In this episode I discuss our thoughts on dating inside our Academy. How casual is not in our vocabulary and it probably shouldn’t be in a student’s with the intent to pursue a long term commitment like Brazilian jiu jitsu.

I discuss the practice of the gauntlet in Brazilian jiu jitsu. I also give my thoughts and opinions about it. Also my husband’s perspective on the matter.

This episode is a little bit of this and a little bit of that. With a shout out to those competing this weekend at World Masters, to talking about ego and the negative impact it has on every aspect of your life. I even discuss comparing yourself to others and my favorite all time quote. Have fun and enjoy the ride! Lol!

I break Brazilian jiu jitsu into 4 different categories. *Gi *NoGi *MMA *Self Defense. I talk about how I recommend finding an Academy that teaches it all.

Rickson Gracie discusses his Parkinson’s diagnoses. I talk about being vigilant in your safety training measures and how I am glad to see the GOAT continue to be an inspiration.

I talk about the importance of having a positive coping habit like Jiu Jitsu.

I just watched the live stream between Tom Deblass and Rener Gracie. Very eye opening stuff. I give my thoughts about the situation and the conversation.

Goals = Motivation. Planning + Goals = Success!!!
